Movies
In 1994 two episodes, Stille Nacht and Jahreswende, were combined into a movie that had success in theaters and was also available on VHS.
On December 19, 2008 the movie Echte Wiener - Die Sackbauer-Saga ("Real Viennese - The Sackbauer Saga"), set 30 years after the last episode of the TV series, opened in Austria. It was directed by Kurt Ockermüller and scripted by Ernst Hinterberger, and Karl Merkatz again played Mundl.
The sequel Echte Wiener II - Die Deppat'n und die Gspritzt'n is planned to open in December 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word movies:
“Nostalgia, the vice of the aged. We watch so many old movies our memories come in monochrome.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasn’t, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums I’d seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, I’d want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.”
—Jill Robinson (b. 1936)
“People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it’s the way things happen to you in life that’s unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it’s like watching television—you don’t feel anything.”
—Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
