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?

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Lola rennt

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

What is the best way to get revenge on people who hurt you?

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!

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

I read this: "Putin is a brilliant, courageous, ingenious, determined, beloved, and incredible modern leader. He is currently the world’s most effective and strong leader, the best the world has seen in centuries." What do you think about this?

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):

In jenen Tagen

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

It has been said that people with ADHD can often hyperfocus. Can that be an advantage?

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

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Didi - alles im Eimer

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

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.

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Metropolis

In what ways Indian parents are destroying their children's life?

Nackt

Das Haus in Montevideo

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.
