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?

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Lola rennt

In jenen Tagen

How do you get started in bestiality with a dog as a male?

Das Haus in Montevideo

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 does a lot of the YouTube community support the MGTOW movement?

Metropolis

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!

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Have you ever been forced to dress like a girl?

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

Die Feuerzangenbowle

How do you explain the involvement of a mainland Chinese visitor, her local relative, and a 65-year-old friend of the latter in the suspected money laundering case seized by Hong Kong police?

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

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

Didi - alles im Eimer

How short is too short for a skirt?

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

Nackt

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?
