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 war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Das Haus in Montevideo

In jenen Tagen

Why are there so many girls and not enough boys to follow?

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

Can I fix a fridge leak myself, or should I call a pro?

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):

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.

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Do women really cheat more than men?

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!

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 are perceived or real slights interpreted as rejections and reality by pwBPD?

Man spricht Deutsh

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

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

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Why do very skinny girls get more male attention if it is true that men like curves?
