Let's Fire Up Those Neurons!

Let me know when Puzzle-#7588 is put to bed. I have one ready, if there's no one else in the queue!

 

Yes cool story... I did solve the puzzle. Can't remember why, but got more excited that I found the old post.

 

Yes, I figured you had. I was just pulling your leg!

 

Recommendations?

 

Errrrrmmm ... "Aguirre Wrath of God" and "Fitzcarraldo" make my all time top 20 list if not in world cinema, then at least in German cinema. I say this with some trepidation - be warned, they're not for everyone. Don't come back to say "... kya had kar diya yaar, what sort of recommendation is this?". Caveat emptor!

Klaus Kinski is maniacally brilliant. Both films are portrayals of drive, ambition and passionate madness, both visually stunning. You need to head to a cinema ( I do, every time they come around) or be the proud possessor of a decent large screen TV. Laptop viewing discouraged.

"Nosferatu the Vampyre" (1979. Klaus Kinski again!) is also interesting and visually striking, but does not make my Top 20.

 

As always, I have laid it on a bit thick. You don't have to solve all clues to get it. Any two - or three - with a little Google Fu will do it. You can use any strip as the point of entry.

Many followers of this thread will know the question and the 'name', but I'd be pleasantly surprised if more than a third had heard of the 'answer'. Therein lies your reward.

No prior knowledge required (of course it helps, as in any puzzle!). You can start de novo, if you can be systematic with the Google wushu.

Level: easy, if you don't overthink it - but easy to set off on tangents too!
More clues as requested.

I'm always interested in hearing about how you approached it!

Note: (1 - 2) means "one-minus-two" (not "one-dash-two", "one-and-two" or something like that).
