anyone remember that film Run Lola Run?

flag
Loved that movie and the soundtrack has been on my ipod with me during runs for years.
I'm an obsessive - run(!) it through on slow motion just to see where those subtle but all important changes occur.
Bettie wrote: "anyone remember that film Run Lola Run?"Yes! Good one -- and I found the screenplay (albeit in German). Added it!
Bettie wrote: "anyone remember that film Run Lola Run?"Nope! But I watched I Love the 90s on VH1 so I know about it! :D .. or was it the new Millenium? .. whatever.. I know about it!
