All German feature films I have seen (ratings & comments)
This list will concentrate on the cinematic heritage of my home country. Eligible are productions (no documentaries) that were mainly done in Germany, though its sometimes hard to distinguish with so many production companys participating in Euopean films. If more than one country is involved, I will add them when the main language is German.
There are some notable films in the German language that were produced in Austria or Switzerland. These will not appear in this list, unless they were co-produced in Germany...you see: its going to be complicated!
German cinema may not have the revolutionary tradition of French or Italian cinema in the latest years, but there is nonetheless much to be explored. This will be a work in progress and is sorted randomly.

Recipent of the Best Foreign Language Golden Globe and nominated for its script at the Oscars, this movie is suprisingly entertaining despite many heartbreaking scenes.

A time, where weakness turns into strength and individuals are unified into a single nation. A time, where despair turns into hope, and loneliness into the love of a lifetime. A time, where one look says more than a thousand words, and even the smallest individuals become giants. Europe's darkest hour turns into a time of patriotic heroes. Heroes just like you and me...
