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

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!

Lola rennt

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

In jenen Tagen

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

Is Florida now unsurvivable because it's an oven due to climate change? It's 11:48 am on May 30th and the heat index in SoFla is 100. I can see it going up to over 130 by July.

Nackt

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):

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Do married men like sucking dick?

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

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Are there any political parties or groups that have a mix of conservative and liberal beliefs? Why are they not as prominent in the media?

Didi - alles im Eimer

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.

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

What are some sex stories from your college days?

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Metropolis

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

Do you agree with Michael Moore that Donald Trump is "toast" in a political comeback?
