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.

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Why do narcissists want to hurt your feelings, even after they discard 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!

Man spricht Deutsh

Das Haus in Montevideo

How does a person become transgender?

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):

Lola rennt

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

I live in Massachusetts. Are there any resources here for people that are being harassed by voice to skull, etc.?

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

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

In jenen Tagen

How do individuals become targeted individuals? Is it solely due to experiencing stalking or harassment, or are there other factors involved?

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

Nackt

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 was the worst decision you ever did?

Metropolis

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Didi - alles im Eimer

Why do Darwin atheists not like facts of Genesis? I’ve noticed they block and dismiss everything a person states. Is that how science works to hide when a truth comes at them?
