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 geschah am helllichten Tag

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.

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Das Haus in Montevideo

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 do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

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

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

Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest Seems Unstoppable - Push Square

Man spricht Deutsh

Metropolis

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.

Which document should be pointed out to a holocaust denier?

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Nackt

Lola rennt

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

In jenen Tagen

Die Feuerzangenbowle

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):
