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?

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

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

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

How safe is it to travel to Kashmir in 2024?

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 so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

Man spricht Deutsh

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.

How did the DMK alliance manage to keep the BJP out of Tamil Nadu politics all these years? Is the picture now changing in Tamil Nadu after the entry of Annamalai?

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):

In jenen Tagen

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Have you ever seen your wife being fucked?

Metropolis

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.

Is it true that LGB should drop T?
