Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Metropolis

Zur Sache, Schätzchen (and its sequel)

California schools are very liberal. Do you think California schools are teaching students to hate Republican views (views on: God, guns, prayer, secure borders, etc.)?

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.

In jenen Tagen

Es geschah am helllichten Tag

If we do not know the name of the father of a child, e.g. a foundling, an illegitimate, etc., then to whom should the bin or the binti of the child's name be applied?

Lola rennt

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

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 will help me to get a bigger butt naturally?

Das Haus in Montevideo

Berlin - Sinfonie einer Großstadt

Man spricht Deutsh

Night Owls More Impulsive Than Morning Larks - Neuroscience News

Nackt

Die Feuerzangenbowle

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):

The Ocean Is Getting Darker, Threatening All That Lives Within - ScienceAlert

Didi - alles im Eimer

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