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?

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

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

In your opinion, who is the most overrated singer/band/artist in modern music history and why?

Lola rennt

Metropolis

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Why do so many FtM people act like MtF people don't exist and what the hell am I supposed to do as an MtF person?

In jenen Tagen

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.

Das Haus in Montevideo

Why do flat Earthers run away like whipped dogs with their tails between their legs when asked simple questions that expose their delusions as fantasy?

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Didi - alles im Eimer

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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

Nackt

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 are the signs that a guy wants to marry you but is afraid of commitment or does not want to get married at all?

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!

Man spricht Deutsh

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Liberals, why don't you like Conservatives?
