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?

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!

What were the career paths of each member of "The Monkees" after the band disbanded? Did any of them have successful music careers?

Die Feuerzangenbowle

I wore a Trump hat to a doctor’s visit. The doctor made a strange comment, he was obviously on the opposite political point that make me uncomfortable. What shall I do on my next visit?

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

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.

How can you tell if someone or someone's is trying to recruit or at least test you for a secret organization?

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.

What do you think of the Quora group "It's Ok to Be White" for people who are proud of being white?

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

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.

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?
