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?

Das Haus in Montevideo

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.

What shocking family behavior did you read about in India?

In jenen Tagen

Metropolis

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

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):

Lola rennt

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.

Have you made a female relative or friend squirt?

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Didi - alles im Eimer

Man spricht Deutsh

Why are people of mixed race seen as more attractive than non-mixed-race people?

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!

Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?

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

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Why am I not attracted to masculine men? Why do I like more feminine attributes on a man?
