I would like to add 2 absolute masterpieces of German cinematic creations.

First: Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo(W children from station zoo)

Devinetively not ab easy or joyfully film. So far I only watched the original version which isn't great in terms of story telling but it displays the reality of drug abuse(in this case heroin) in a very good way. This film is devinetively capable of ruining your day.

Werner - Beinhart( Werner and the wizard of booze)

A quite old(1990) animated film. It is funny as hell but you can clearly see, that it was made in a different time/society. However, its still funny as hell(at least in my opinion).

If you like horror and you haven't seen Repo! The Genetic Opera, nows the time.

Threads. Especially should be mandatory for politicians. To date one of the most accurate portrayals of nuclear war. It is not an uplifting movie.

  • The Fountain
  • Schindler's List
  • Idiocracy
  • This is SpinalTap
  • Saving Private Ryan
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Probably missing some, but these are the ones I can remember right now. I think Schindler's List should be required viewing by everyone before they graduate high school. I remember when they used to air it on regular TV, unedited and uncensored, commercial free. I feel we were nicer and more willing to avoid wars back then.

I ain't ashamed to say it, I cry every damn time I watch it.

My recommendation is either The Grand Budapest Hotel or Moonrise Kingdom. Both by Wes Anderson, and probably his two best films. Excellent director with a very distinct visual style.

Pincess Mononoke and/or Metropolis 2001

  1. Not just a great war movie, but also a cinematic masterpiece.
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If you want to add non English movies to the list, then I have two to suggest:

  • Children of Heaven
  • Cinema Paradiso

I'll throw RRR onto the international pile since it's the kinda film that feels like the greatest movie ever while you're watching it.
