    Question for experts
    1. In the 60's and seventies there were a string of german b-movies made by one director. A string of fantasy movies, unicorns, magicians, etc.

    In one movie for example a knight has to kill a magician in a tower who keeps his heart in a box somewhere else.

    I need to know the name of that german? Director.

    Apparently it's a famous man.

    2. I remember seeing a TV movie about a passenger plane accidentally flying through a wormhole, and arriving somewhere 15 minutes out of sync with time with regard to the rest of the planet. The passengers start hearing an increasing humming noise. Which turns out to be "the nothing" I.e. what happens to everything a few minutes into the past. The nothing arrives at it. So they try and escape this black nothingness. Any idea what that was?

    Not sure about question #1...

    But the answer to question #2 is The Langoliers by Stephen King. Here is a link to the IMDb profile http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112040/

    TCM synopsis:
    In ancient Baristan, Captain Sindbad falls in love with the beautiful Princess Jana, whose father, the king, is under the evil spell of a villainous tyrant. El Kerim has seized control of the kingdom and plans to marry Princess Jana. Upon learning that El Kerim is indestructible because his heart is locked in an ivory tower guarded by multiheaded, fire-breathing monsters, Sinbad and his loyal followers set out to find the tower. After encountering numerous perils (an invisible monster, a nine-headed scylla, an attack upon their ship by giant prehistoric birds), they finally reach the tower. El Kerim also has arrived by magic to protect his heart, but Sinbad slays the tyrant and saves Princess Jana from the death planned for her.
