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)

Lola rennt

Nackt

Why does everyone hate Anthony Joshua so much? I get that he isn’t the best heavyweight boxer ever but people claim he’s a no skill fighter but he has an Olympic gold medal, a world championship, and beat Klitschko, a dominant force in boxing

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Das Haus in Montevideo

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):

Can you provide some examples of music with a free form structure?

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

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

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

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Man spricht Deutsh

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.

What is the most comfortable heel height for women's dress shoes and what are the differences between wearing high heels and lower heels?

In jenen Tagen

Didi - alles im Eimer

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!

If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?

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 is Harley-Davidson dropping diversity initiatives after the right-wing anti-DEI campaign?
