LawrenceA Posted April 27 So no one else has seen Funny Games? That's surprising to me, since it's been on TCM once or twice, and was such a ballyhooed film at the time. When no one else included it, I was thinking maybe I had the wrong year for it, so I doubled checked, and it's a '97 movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
