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?

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

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.

Why are some people afraid of monsters?

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

Nackt

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

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.

Man spricht Deutsh

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

What are some photos of masturbation?

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):

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

I saw a post on X which says "control your lust & you'll understand how boring 90% of women are." What do you think about it? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

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

Die Feuerzangenbowle

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

Why does it smell so bad? I noticed that when I move around my vagina has a stench. It’s usually a wet liquid, almost like pee. There’re little to no discharge and it doesn’t hurt or itch.

Metropolis

Didi - alles im Eimer

Who was the guy that had sex with the AIDS monkey?
