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?

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

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.

Are there any queer Space Marine Legion in Warhammer 30k or 40k?

Das Haus in Montevideo

Nackt

Die Feuerzangenbowle

MAGAs are becoming unhinged and violent about Musk being called the United States President. If MAGAs think Trump is the Commander in Chief, why aren’t MAGAs blaming Trump for what DOGE is doing to Americans?

Lola rennt

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

In jenen Tagen

How did Neo defeat the architect at the end of The Matrix: Reloaded? Was it solely due to his belief in himself or were there other factors at play?

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):

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Didi - alles im Eimer

What is the science behind red light therapy?

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

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!

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

How can you determine which type of underwear to wear with different styles of clothing, such as dresses?

Man spricht Deutsh

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

Metropolis

Are people who cite the 2nd Amendment honestly familiar with what it establishes?
