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?

Die Feuerzangenbowle

In jenen Tagen

Lola rennt

What does it mean when we dream about demons, ghosts, monsters, etc.?

Das Haus in Montevideo

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

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.

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

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):

Didi - alles im Eimer

Man spricht Deutsh

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

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.

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

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Why are so many young teenage boys misogynistic? Where do they get these attitudes from?

Nackt

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

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

What is the most heartbreaking thing your child has told you?

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!

Metropolis

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?
