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?

Man spricht Deutsh

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):

Didi - alles im Eimer

Is there anything wrong with me because I'm still single?

Die Feuerzangenbowle

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

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

What is the Abu Shusha massacre in Palestine?

Metropolis

Nackt

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.

I have a "fat pussy" and I'm super self cautions about it. Do guys think it's gross?

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

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.

In jenen Tagen

Why would a girl not want you to know she has a crush on you?

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!

Das Haus in Montevideo

Lola rennt

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

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

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Why are the people who don't support the LGBT community treated like super evil and cruel beings? People can have different opinions and thoughts on things.
