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?

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Didi - alles im Eimer

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!

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

In jenen Tagen

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

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

Die Feuerzangenbowle

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.

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):

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

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.

Das Haus in Montevideo

How far back into your childhood can your remember and what is your favorite memory of that time?

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

Nackt

Lola rennt

Why are Democrats at Q so desperate that they keep taking down my links to comments that prove the residents in Ohio have been filing complaints about the Haitians eating the local wildlife from ponds in the local parks? Election interference

Metropolis

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht
