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?

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 war eine rauschende Ballnacht

What type of sex do women prefer, oral, anal, or vaginal?

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!

Lola rennt

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Apple keeps pulling its own ads - The Verge

Nackt

Metropolis

Didi - alles im Eimer

Northern Irish rap group Kneecap plays Glastonbury despite controversy - NPR

Das Haus in Montevideo

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):

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Patriots OTAs takeaways: Drake Maye rises, Stefon Diggs returns, rookie WR shines - Boston Herald

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.

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Can you explain the validity of relativity theory? It seems to me to be untrue, as time is universal, and the time is now everywhere.

Man spricht Deutsh

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

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

How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?
