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?

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

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Man spricht Deutsh

What do you think are the real reasons Matt Gaetz just withdrew his name for Attorney General in the upcoming Trump administration?

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!

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

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):

Das Haus in Montevideo

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.

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

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.

Metropolis

Can a 40-year-old date a 20-year-old?

Didi - alles im Eimer

Lola rennt

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

If gays can get married, why can't I marry my dog or a cheeseburger?

Nackt

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

In jenen Tagen

Why do I sweat so much at the gym?
