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.

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):

Seahawks coach sounds off on ‘crazy’ Sam Darnold QB controversy after $100 million star’s rough practice - New York Post

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Lola rennt

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

11 confirmed dead after flooding, identities of three victims released - WOAI

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!

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

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

How scientists discovered 200-million-year-old species thought to be extinct - MSN

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

Didi - alles im Eimer

Any straight men had a gay experience in the past? What was it and how did you feel?

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Das Haus in Montevideo

Metropolis

What are some good customer engagement platforms?

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.

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.
