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

Metropolis

In jenen Tagen

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

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.

Die Feuerzangenbowle

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

Has a cop ever said something to you which was completely unexpected?

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

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Nackt

Why do people see porn pics when they can watch porn videos instead?

Didi - alles im Eimer

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

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.

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 war eine rauschende Ballnacht

What are the pros and cons of arranged marriages?

Lola rennt

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!
