Nackt

Das Haus in Montevideo

In jenen Tagen

Is it very wrong to want to spend some time with husband after continuous work for 5 days in a weekend because my husband thinks if we go out every weekend what night my parents and other family members think?

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

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Didi - alles im Eimer

Hey girls can we see some anal play?

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 war eine rauschende Ballnacht

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):

Scientists Stunned as Rare Phenomenon Emerges from Arctic’s Icy Depths - Indian Defence Review

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

Metropolis

Man spricht Deutsh

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Project Century Gets A Strange New Title - GameSpot

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

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

Which race of women are the hottest?

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!
