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?

Nackt

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

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

What are the beliefs of those who think climate change is a conspiracy theory? What do they predict will happen if we do not address it?

Didi - alles im Eimer

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):

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Are there any guys, crossdressers, or transgender girls here who wear tampons?

Metropolis

In jenen Tagen

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Why am I always so tired, no matter how much I sleep?

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!

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

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 do you think of Tesla's Model Y coming in ninth among electric cars sales in Europe?

Lola rennt

Das Haus in Montevideo

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Why do we often have strong feelings for our twin flames, even if they don't feel the same way? Is there a way to make them realize their true feelings for us?

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.

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

Man spricht Deutsh

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?
