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?

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.

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

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

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

Didi - alles im Eimer

Das Haus in Montevideo

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

How do police officers feel about the fear they instill into criminals?

In jenen Tagen

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!

Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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.

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

Nackt

Die Feuerzangenbowle

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

What is something you want to "get off your chest"?

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):

Man spricht Deutsh

Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?
