Why are German films often so formulaic even though Germany is a European culture? I love them but they follow formula very closely like Hollywood. What are the best German films?

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

In Wirtschaftswunder times, most Western German movies were junk but the GDR produced some very good ones, e.g. Western movies and Spur der Steine; in the 70s Paul und Paula. I definitely recommend both!

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

Das Haus in Montevideo

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Nackt

Why do so many people find Kakashi's character so appealing and inspirational?

What is of absolutely horrible quality is the “movies” that are produced for TV. They are famously bad.

Which document should be pointed out to a holocaust denier?

How do you confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?

I have seen some very good German movies. It is not that they don't exist, but they hardly ever achieve much fame. Especially since people have been accustomed to the dominance of US popular culture.

Man spricht Deutsh

Besides these, there are some really good children's movies: More recently, the Bibi und Tina series as just one example. Looking back into the 80s and 70s, as well as into the present, I would even say that movies for children are what the German Film industry excels at. There is much less screaming and cake throwing and slimy monsters and much more discussing of matters that affect children in real life (even in phantasy plots) than in most US children's movies as far als I know them. The GDR was particularly well known for excellent children's movies but the west was and is good at it, too.

What is the difference between the terms "Millennials" and "kids"?

Here is a list of some (by no means all) German movies that are considered Classics (and a few that should be, in my opinion):

And many I can't think of at the moment.

Didi - alles im Eimer

Why are people becoming increasingly hostile to pro-lifers? I am pro-life.
