Why are German films often so formulaic even though Germany...

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.

Metropolis

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):

Steelers' T.J. Watt Reportedly Won't Attend Minicamp Amid Desire for New Contract - Bleacher Report

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!

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

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

Were there any friendly fire incidents involving American submarines, aircraft carriers, or battleships during World War II or World War I?

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

Das Haus in Montevideo

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.

MAGA talking heads are saying that no MAGA child would publicly cry for their father, and want Gus Walz investigated as a crisis actor. I cried for my father and mother when they won or lost in life, am I a weird conservative or is MAGA messed up?
