They are both terrific movies bit quite different I’d say. TTSS is much more about the intrigue/double-crossing/spy stuff, whereas The Lives of Others is more of a character study.
As an aside, the BBC series of TTSS with Alec Guiness is still the best and any fan of the movie/book who hasn’t seen it should remedy that ASAP.
I don’t think I did 10 times, but Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy sure offered something new every time I watched it.
God that movie was subtle.
Looks good! On my list. You ever watched Das Leben der Anderen?
I have not and I think that is called “The Lives of Others” in the states.
Is it similar to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?

I’m not sure as I haven’t watched TTSS yet. It’s on my list now but sounds like it is in the same ballpark.
The Lives of Others indeed, it’s a movie about divided Germany with a dark atmosphere, which does deserve multiple viewings. Great stuff.
Nice I will check it out.
