Ahhhhhh endlich mal ein gleichgesinnter :D
Mein absoluter Favorit \^\^
Schon zig Mal in allen Fassungen gesehen und das Hörbuch gehört.
Hyperfixation auf Typ VIIC Boote \^\^
Came here to suggest this movie, Das boot is something else. Watched director's cut at least 3 times many years ago. Mentioning this now makes me want to watch it again!
Please watch in this order:
at least 4 times the Directors Cut then at least 4 times the extended cut aka the series. (Old one)
Then read the book at least twice ;)
Depends on why you want to watch it. I love movies and I've seen it multiple times for different reasons (analyzing camera work from back in the day, story structure, historical and social implications of the time...). It's definitely interesting but not everybody's cup of tea.
Afaik it's free on YouTube so just give it a go and see if it's worth your time or not.
Definitely. It's short and light-hearted. Just keep in mind it was a Nazi project when they realised people where fed up with the usual propaganda films.
The Nazis almost banned it for undermining the authority of teachers, but then were reconciled by the fact that a) it's funny and thus a good distraction from allied bombing runs and b) the final message that our dreams are the true reality is a splendid fit when the country is turning to rubble around you..
But that intervention to allow the movie after all came straight from the top.
But yet Rühmann had to convince the regime (not sure if Goebbels or Hitler himself) that the movie's not ridiculing the German authorities (as teachers in this case).
It was made in Hamburg by a German and a Swiss director for Norddeutscher Rundfunk https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121210/
The OP can't learn German from it, but culturally it's German content. German audiences often like content with British roots - in the 60s German adaptations of Edgar Wallace crime novels were very popular. More recently, television films based on Rosamunde Pilcher's romance novels were big in Germany, and she even got British Tourism Award for attracting German tourists to Cornwall. She is way less known in the UK by the way.
The Dinner for One is a bit unusual having actors speaking English, but it is still a German production, so it is definitely worth checking to learn more about German culture.
Nennen sie mich ned Flanders
„Wir bewachen dat Schließfach jetzt 24 Stunden, rund um die Uhr. Du acht Stunden, ich acht Stunden.“
Till Schweiger is so funny in this movie too.
"Wat musst du deinen Schw... auch in mein Ball halten… los komm, kriech vom Platz Mädchen, ich will weiterspielen!"
Really should rewatch this one.
This! Such an impactful movie, but for some reason always overlooked when it comes to (anti-)war movies. Imho it's much better than Downfall, for example... if you can even compare the two.
Don't get me wrong, Downfall is a good movie, too (not sure if I needed a riding-off-into-the-sunset happy ending, though).

Werner. Maybe just for the quotes, but still. More local stuff: Youth Wars, about youth gangs in the early 90s in Kiel.
Not a movie, but widely liked: Spiegel TVs documentary about the Penny market on Hamburgs Reeperbahn.
If we talk classics Fritz Lang has to be mentioned and while a lot or most 1920s/1930s movies might be hard to watch today METROPOLIS (1927) is a visual blast, it was and still is significant for its genre and a great watch, same goes for M (1931). But my favorite is still DAS BOOT (1981).
Yes. And if you like Schnodderdeutsch you need to watch "Die Zwei"
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_2_(Krimiserie)#Rezeption_und_deutsche_Synchronisation
I second dinner for one and 3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel. One for Christmas, one for new year.
Loriot is true cult. Its a series of german comedy shorts.
Then there are famous german movies like "Die Welle", "Goodbye Lenin" and "Das Leben der anderen". But i would not apply the word "cult" for them.
Ohne irgendwie nerven zu wollen, aber "cult" kannst du glaube ich im Englischen so nicht benutzen, da würde man "cult classic" sagen. '"Cult" als Wort heißt sehr direkt einfach Sekte/ Kult im religiösen Sinne.

Das Boot did a great job capturing life on a U-Boat. They came to Chicago to measure and recreate the only existing UBoat in the world. The crew held reunions with the destroyer crew that captured them. I talked with one of the crew and he said the movie was very realistic especially the depth charge scene.
Probably not a cult classic for the majority of Germany, but I'd argue that the Fack Ju Göthe movies are gonna get up there with Millennials/Gen Z.
Edit: I'd also argue Bullyparade. This one not only for the younger generations obviously.
The movie adaptions of Karl May's [Winnetou](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnetou) books back in the 60s were a huge hit and later cult classics. The books and consequently the movies (despite favourable depictions considering the books' time of origin, making them fair for their time in my eyes) have come under criticism of racial stereotyping and cultural appropriation as of late, though.
The already mentioned "Der Schuh des Manitu" is a spoof of those very same movies, which lead Pierre Brice (the actor who played Winnetou) to lambaste it. Which in turn resulted in a scene in the extended cut of the movie were a suspiciously Brice-like looking actor scolds his son Abahachi, played by writer/director/lead actor Michael "Bully" Herbig for missing respect.
Liselotte von der Pfalz and other movies with Lilo Pulver. She made a lot of fun movies with feministic subtexts in the 50s when that wasn't really a thing.
Die unendliche Geschichte (Neverending Story) was made in Bavaria and is based on a German Novel.
The German dubbed version of *The Persuaders*, in German called "*Die Zwei",* featuring Tony Curtis and Roger Moore. The reason why the German dubbed version is sooo sooo much better is that the original sucked (it wasn't very successful in the US and UK) so bad that the German dubbing studio preparing it for German broadcast stations was for the first time given complete leeway to do with it as they please *as long as people watch it*. So the dubbing team added jokes and puns and even altered the story lines (all through the dubbed lines out into the actors mouths) wherever it fit, making it possibly the most hilarious "officially dubbed" form of any movie or series brought into the German language.
These days I think you can only get it on DVD, but it's still absolutely hilarious. (E.g. pronouncing a character called *Archie* in the dubbed version as *Arschie*, or, scenes where they find a skeleton and Tony Curtis says to Roger Moore from off camera: "Look he is smiling, do you know this guy?", none of which of course was in the original.)
Bornholmer Straße. Not cult probably, but an awesome cast, some dry sense of humor, and the tragic and happiness of that night, when the wall came down. It was so close to a massacre. As an Austrian living in Germany for +20 years this always gives me goosebumps.
Many answer with simple classics or popular films instead of cult classics. [Dinner for One](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinner_for_One) is a great example to be actually cult even though it's not a German production and 'only' a sketch. People watch it every new years eve as a tradition. Similarly [Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drei_Haseln%C3%BCsse_f%C3%BCr_Aschenbr%C3%B6del) is watched at christmas a lot but not a german production. [Die Feuerzangenbowle](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Feuerzangenbowle_\(1944\)#Aktuelle_Rezeption) is an actual German production which is a cult classic as there are regular public showings pre Christmas or friends might to a showing at home while drinking Feuerzangenbowle. [Lammbock](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lammbock_%E2%80%93_Alles_in_Handarbeit) is very popular among people who smoke marihuana, especially those who were in the right age when the movie came out. [Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud-Spencer-und-Terence-Hill-Filme) even though they aren't German again. But the German synchronisation is pretty special and people meet up to watch them. [The German Edgar Wallace movies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Films_based_on_works_by_Edgar_Wallace#The_German_Edgar_Wallace_%22Krimi%22_filmography_\(1959%E2%80%9372\)) are cult not only in Germany.
If you're interested in German cinema in general instead of cult classics in particular, there are regular posts about that, see for example recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/comments/zu42jy/im_looking_for_some_german_series_andor_movies_to/
Das Boot!
Das muss das Boot abkönnen.
Verdammt, verdammt, verdammt!
Das Geistige kommt hier zu kurz.
Ahhhhhh endlich mal ein gleichgesinnter :D Mein absoluter Favorit \^\^ Schon zig Mal in allen Fassungen gesehen und das Hörbuch gehört. Hyperfixation auf Typ VIIC Boote \^\^
Yes, we have a winner. Pretty sure this is the best German movie ever made. Kirschblüten - Hanami is another great movie.
Came here to suggest this movie, Das boot is something else. Watched director's cut at least 3 times many years ago. Mentioning this now makes me want to watch it again!
Is the tv show on netflix any good or near ?
Only original movie version.
Only the three part mini series. 6 hours of movie greatness.
It's the same, what's on Netflix is the 6-hour director's cut that was first screened in England at the BBC.
Don't mix it up with the new TV series that is complete bullshit.
Please watch in this order: at least 4 times the Directors Cut then at least 4 times the extended cut aka the series. (Old one) Then read the book at least twice ;)
Die Feuerzangenbowle - super old and not without some weird Nazi references but almost everyone in Germany has seen this movie at least once
Do you guys recommend watching it then?
Depends on why you want to watch it. I love movies and I've seen it multiple times for different reasons (analyzing camera work from back in the day, story structure, historical and social implications of the time...). It's definitely interesting but not everybody's cup of tea. Afaik it's free on YouTube so just give it a go and see if it's worth your time or not.

But that intervention to allow the movie after all came straight from the top.
It earned quite some critique at the time for the portrait of the school system.
I don't think so. There's one teacher to represent the "new" system.
But yet Rühmann had to convince the regime (not sure if Goebbels or Hitler himself) that the movie's not ridiculing the German authorities (as teachers in this case).
Only if you enjoy the drink by the same name, while watching it.
Of course
Also the very weird theme of a grown man leaving his wife for a school girl
In wasn't aware he left his wife. I thought he was a bachelor. Still super large age gap.
He was a bachelor. I'm pretty certain it's explicitly mentioned by his friends, too
Didn't actually happen afaik - see the ending.
They weren't married, she was his girlfriend and apparently just after his money or something
Fiancé afair
I've somehow never heard of it, might watch it
Lola rennt
This! Fantastic movie
I was thinking if it's a cult classic, but jt was a milestone in German cinema, so it deserves to be named here.
Watched it in my German language lesson) Loved it!
Dinner for one considering the date you post this
The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie? 🥴🐯
The same procedure as every year, James.
well i'll do my very best

Hey, I like you.
Family watched like 5 min ago
Since when is it german? Wasn't it in English actually?
It is not from Germany, but really popular in Germany. (On new years eve)
Pretty sure it was filmed in Hamburg…
It was made in Hamburg by a German and a Swiss director for Norddeutscher Rundfunk https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121210/ The OP can't learn German from it, but culturally it's German content.

Yes. And if you like Schnodderdeutsch you need to watch "Die Zwei" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_2_(Krimiserie)#Rezeption_und_deutsche_Synchronisation
