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?

Lola rennt

In jenen Tagen

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):

How has your life changed for the past 10 years? Can you share your #10year challenge? Is your life better, worse, or still hopeful?

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!

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

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.

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Man spricht Deutsh

What are some reasons why men may not want to date a woman who can pay her own bills?

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.

Das Haus in Montevideo

What is the best time for conception?

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

Metropolis

Nackt

Why is Reagan seen as the best president in the USA when he literally destroyed the American economy with trickle down system and was strongly against worker unions?

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Didi - alles im Eimer

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