If you're male or female or of any particular ethnic, sexual, religious or national persuasion, you may be offended by this movie. Or perhaps this movie may make you laugh more than any other recent comedy. Fame. Authority. Show tunes. The military. Race. Sex. Religion. The way to a woman's heart. The creators of TV's South Park skewer all in a feature-length story that plunges an outraged U.S. into war with Canada after South Park schoolkids sneak into a restricted Canadian-made film and emerge, their fragile little minds warped, spouting expletives that would make a sex-shop proprietor blush. - Director:
- Trey Parker

- Trey Parker, Howard McGillin, Matt Stone

The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed
'The Adventures of Prince Achmed' premiered in Germany on 23rd September 1926, hailed as the first full-length animated film in the history of cinema. Seventy-five years on, this enchanting film still stands as one of the great classics of animation - lively, delicate, inventive, stirring and romantic. Taken from "The Arabian Nights", the story tells of a wicked sorcerer who lures Prince Achmed onto a magical flying horse and sends him off on a flight to his death. The Prince foils the magician's evil plan, however, and flies headlong into a series of adventures - joining forces with Aladdin, doing battle with assorted ogres, monsters and spirits, and falling in love with the beautiful Princess Peri Banu. - Director:
