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?

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

Didi - alles im Eimer

Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

What is the cost of implementing synchronized traffic lights in a mid-sized city?

Man spricht Deutsh

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

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 measures are shipping companies taking to navigate around conflict zones like the Red Sea and Black Sea?

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

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!

Lola rennt

What are the differences between red and blue LED lights for skin treatment?

In jenen Tagen

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Die Feuerzangenbowle

Are there any penalties for bestiality in the USA and laws prohibiting it?

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):

Nackt

Das Haus in Montevideo

I just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?

Metropolis

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

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.
