A comedy movie by Matt Farley and Charles Roxburgh. It's both a part of their Druid-themed Thomasville series and an homage to the early 1980s horror movie The Pit. A wild and wacky no-budget comedy, Sammy was shot on DV and completed in 2002. The movie was filmed primarily in Manchester, New Hampshire, with some scenes also filmed in Connecticut.
Matt (Matt Farley) has recently been elected mayor of Thomasville, a small New England town. Along with his assistant Charlie (Charlie Roxburgh), Matt has caused quite a stir by making radical proposals, such as the banishment of motorized vehicles and the construction of an underground pedestrian walkway. When he announces plans to develop a vast wilderness tract known as Cruben Country, Matt angers some of the city’s most powerful residents. Despite this stressful situation, Matt does his best to nurture a budding relationship with Melanie, a local newspaper reporter. With the covert Druids scheming against them, Matt and Charlie are about to find out that they not only have to fight for their political opinions, they also have to fight for their lives!
Druids have existed far longer than hitherto assumed, since the 4th century BC. Their traces are found all over middle Europe: from the northern Balkans to Ireland. Their cultural achievements were equal in almost every way to those of the Romans and Greeks: They could read and write and spoke Greek and Latin - for centuries, they were the powerful elite of their culture. Only one single Druid is known by name to history: Diviciacos - an aristocrat of the Aedui and personal friend of Julius Caesar. Diviciacos was a politician, a judge and a diplomat, but he lived at a time when the Celtic lands of Gaul were conquered by the Romans. Greek and Roman contemporaries distrusted the actions of this forbear of the famous comic book druid Getafix: They imagined him in bloody rituals in somber woods.

A Texas congressman sets a series of events in motion when he conspires with a CIA operative to aid Afghan mujahideen rebels fighting the Soviets.
Schtonk! is a farce of the actual events of 1983, when Germany's Stern magazine published, with great fanfare, 60 volumes of the alleged diaries of Adolf Hitler – which two weeks later turned out to be entirely fake. Fritz Knobel (based on real-life forger Konrad Kujau) supports himself by faking and selling Nazi memorabilia. When Knobel writes and sells a volume of Hitler's (nonexistent) diaries, he thinks it's just another job. When sleazy journalist Hermann Willié learns of the diaries, however, he quickly realizes their potential value... and Knobel is quickly in over his head. As the pressure builds and Knobel is forced to deliver more and more volumes of the fake diaries, he finds himself acting increasingly like the man whose life he is rewriting. The film is a romping and hilarious satire, poking fun not only at the events and characters involved in the hoax (who are only thinly disguised in the film), but at the discomfort Germany has with its difficult past.
