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?

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

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

In jenen Tagen

Libtards argue Obama deported more people than Trump, but if that were true why weren't they comparing Obama to Idi Amin?

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.

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

What does success really mean to you? Is it about happiness, money, or something else?

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Das Haus in Montevideo

If atheists are so positive that there is no God, where is their proof that He does not exist?

Nackt

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):

Man spricht Deutsh

Do most men prefer curvy women or skinny women?

Metropolis

Lola rennt

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

What would you do if you found out that someone had broken into your home while you were sleeping?

Didi - alles im Eimer

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!
