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

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.

Is the Philippines PH a poor 3rd world or 4th world country forever and forever?

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

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 Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

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):

Das Haus in Montevideo

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

What are some healthy ways to start losing weight without risking starvation mode or extreme food restriction?

Didi - alles im Eimer

Metropolis

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

Do airline pilots try to avoid turbulence? How can you tell if your flight has been rerouted due to weather conditions or other factors?

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

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Nackt

Do you have pics of the wife making out with another guy?

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!

In jenen Tagen

What are "the new net zero jobs of tomorrow" that SNP's Stephen Flynn says his party would create?
