I'm one of two founders of this site. Let me introduce myself!

I have a very early memory about this movie. Pictures about a castle, snow and cable cars were in my head, but I couldn't find out from where I got these pictures. When I saw 'Where Eagles Dare' for the first(?) time I realised from where these pictures were taken. OK, it sounds a bit religious with getting pictures from a film without seeing it, but what can I say... It was love at first sight and from that day we are a couple, 'Where Eagles Dare' and me. 🙂 I've seen the movie about 40 times and still I think it's a fantastic movie.

I came up with the idea of this site when I couldn't find any pictures from the film on internet. I thought that maybe it was more surfers that loved this movie and therefor I started this site. Jakob has been my 'web-partner' since 1997.
