You watched Guest from the Future.

You're parents stood in long lines to buy you toys

Did you all watch 80s films like "Gotcha", "Stripes" and "Spies Like Us"? I'm curious what you think of their depictions of the Soviet Union and East Germany.

I'm afraid I'm not much of a movie watcher so I haven't.

I actually did watch that movie. The depiction of East Germany is....highly accurate of course. ;D :D

That's not accurate for most of the decade to my knowledge. I remember one year when we were preparing food packages for a partner town in Russia (yes, our West German city had/has a partner town in the Soviet Union/Russia) but that was one event in one year. I forgot which one though, must have been mid to late 80ies. Funny thing is I never heard of any food shortages in the GDR and the Soviet Union tended to loot that place. ::)
