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?

Lola rennt

In jenen Tagen

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Tesla is forced to remove 64 Superchargers on NJ Turnpike, Musk claims ‘corruption’ - Electrek

Man spricht Deutsh

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.

Die Feuerzangenbowle

If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

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):

Nackt

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

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?

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

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Das Haus in Montevideo

Metropolis

How would you describe modern day Russian society, beyond just politics?

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

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.

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