	Kinoeye \| Austrian film: Michael Haneke's Funny Games
		Funny Games is purposefully shocking rather than enchanting, and it is meant to question the use of violence, rather than to actually use violence, as a major narrative element.
		From that moment, right up to the end of the film, we are all involved in a "game" that we cannot accept or explain, one which isn't "funny" at all—not for the terrorised family, and not for the viewer who is terrorised as well— because he or she can't help but identify with the victims.
		In Funny Games, it is Anna's ravaged face especially that we must stare at again and again: a face that gradually loses—torture by torture—all traces of human dignity, destroyed by escalating acts of humiliation forced upon her by her tormentors.

	Amazon.com: DVD: Funny Games (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Funny Games is guaranteed to outrage some viewers with its manipulative schemes, but there's no denying the film's visceral impact, generated by Haneke's expert handling of a superior cast.
		Funny Games wouldn't lend itself to fit the "horror" shelves of your video library, but it's tightly wound tense scenes sport a shocking affinity to the genre.
		"Funny Games", the story of a family tormented, tortured, and ultimately murdered by two smug sociopaths, is viewed by some as a classic example of number one.

	Jigsaw Lounge - Funny Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Funny Games is a paradox — an almost unwatchable film which only makes sense the second or third time you force yourself to sit through it.
		Funny Games really is, then, a nightmare — it’s like a dream in which the dreamer suddenly realises that he isn’t awake, and that he’s free to act exactly as he wishes.
		Funny Games is too much for many viewers, and while I can understand their repulsion I don’t share it.

	Funny Games
		The key difference between Funny Games and Last House is that Craven, who would later become the undisputed king of both multiplex horror and the reflexive slasher film, made a straightforward B-movie that catered to the grindhouse crowd.
		Essentially, Funny Games plunders the nastiest bits from Straw Dogs, A Clockwork Orange, and I Spit On Your Grave and fashions them into a film that eschews context and any sense of closure in favor of a metacinematic style that, apparently, seeks to identify the audience with the psychopaths.
		For most of its audience, Funny Games is debuting on video, having opened briefly in New York City, but never making it to Los Angeles (though I understand a brief theatrical release was slated after the DVD came out).

	Joystuck - Why aren't video games funny? By Stephen Totilo
		Still, games have been so somber that when two comedy titles were released last month—the Animal House -like Leisure Suit Larry and the Princess Bride -esque Bard's Tale —it qualified as a laugh renaissance.
		More than 20 years later, game humor is similar in content and positioning to the lame post-gunfight wisecracks you'd find in a Schwarzenegger movie circa 1987.
		The result is that even games one would expect to bring the laughs value interactivity at the expense of all things funny.

	Drinking Games - College Fun Drinking Games.
		Cottabus is an ancient drinking game involving skill in pouring a swig of wine into a large vessel.
		A modern variant of the Cottabus drinking games, known as Arrogance drinking game, has players take turns to add as much beverage as they like to a central jug before correctly calling a flip of a coin.
		These games start out simple, but become much more challenging as the series grows and the players get drunker and their coordination and memory deteriorate.

	Central Europe Review - Film: Michael Haneke
		His latest film, Funny Games (1997), sees a return to form, and it will, if nothing else, do much to bolster Haneke's notoriety.
		Whilst Hollywood is spending millions of dollars on marauding aliens, city-sized dinosaurs and icebergs to convey fear and terror, Haneke has realised that the people from the house next door who drop in for some eggs can do the job far more effectively.
		As the duo try to entertain us by playing their games with the family, Haneke plays games with us in order to awaken us to the senselessness of the increasing lust audiences have for blood on the cinema screens.

	Funny Games
		Funny Games provokes a tantalising cauldron of conflicting emotions in its audience including confusion, empathy, disgust, respect and disappointment.
		The “pick-the-classical-composer” game the husband and wife play early in the film establishes this motif, and we quickly learn of their other assets: golf clubs, a purebred German Shepherd, and a sailboat.
		Because the narrative is ultimately controlled and driven by the two thugs (after all, they orchestrate and direct the funny games), they assume a peculiar directorial control over the whole film.

	Amazon.co.uk: DVD: Funny Games [1998] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		'Funny Games' was nominated in Cannes for a very good reason: This movie goes beyond the viewer's 'defences'.
		Funny Games certainly is no exception to this, with the writer and director laying on the social conscious with a heavy hand, playing with out-dated notions of self-reflexity in a smug and obnoxious manner and, even worse, giving us a series of characters that we simply cannot relate to or sympathise with.
		If you are interested in Funny Games merely for it's reputation then perhaps you should see it just to satisfy your curiosity, though, coming as it does on a wave of positive expectations, it is almost guaranteed to disappoint.

	Movie Review - Funny Games - eFilmCritic
		In Funny Games, two young men invade the house of a married couple and terrorize them and their young son.
		I can't say that Funny Games is completely without intelligence; Haneke has the more assertive of the two men, Paul, break the fourth wall a handful of times.
		He first does it while the wife is searching for the body of her dog, which he has killed; he turns to the camera and winks at us, as if to suggest that we are now in on a private joke.

	Funny Games - VHS - Title F Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Michael Haneke is a director who loves to make controversial films 'The Seventh Continent' and 'The Piano Teacher' were incredibly disturbing films but the Haneke filmography seems to overlook possibly one the most disturbing films ever to grace the silver screen.
		Action movies tipped to the top with Arnie blowing off this head or another, blood and guts splattering the wall behind; Mass murderers munching on the brains of their still living victims and 'cult' movies leaving all the characters to pale away in pools of blood for the last scene.
		If you mention Michael Hanke's Funny Games to a group of people there is no doubt you will get an amzing mixed bag of opinions ranging from hateing it to loving it, there is no doubt it is a very powerfull and bleak, scary film.

		Truthfully, there’s a lot more that could be written about Funny Games --it’s one of those films that tends to linger with the viewer for a long time after the viewing has ended, and lends itself to detailed analysis quite easily.
