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?

Man spricht Deutsh

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

What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?

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

What is your review of the Redmi 9A? Is it worth buying?

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Lola rennt

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):

How many of you have had your parental rights taken away because of lies and no truth whatsoever, and did you prove the lies that were told about you to be false either through drug testing or another way, but still had your rights taken?

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.

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!

Didi - alles im Eimer

How can one translate "You're welcome" from English to French using formal language? Are there any other ways to say this phrase in a more polite manner?

Das Haus in Montevideo

In jenen Tagen

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.
