Language: Silent Run time: 73m 100% Rotten Tomatoes I rarely include silent cinema in my film recommendations as, realistically, not many people like watching this kind of film. And they’re not widely available on streaming services, etc. anyway. But Germany has SO many AMAZING silent films from the 1920s and 1930s that one had to make my list of f...
Languages: German, English, French Run time: 78m 95% Rotten Tomatoes Skipping ahead 18 years to Germany, Year Zero and I don’t think I have to explain why Germany didn’t produce much cinema in the intervening years! But this film is actually by an Italian, coveted filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, and is the final movie in his unofficial War Trilogy af...
Languages: English, German, Russian Run time: 104m 95% Rotten Tomatoes Billy Wilder did (intermittently) return to Berlin and made some cracking films – A Foreign Affair (1948) and One, Two, Three. The first is still a fantastic film starring Marlene Dietrich that you should absolutely check out, but I’ve chosen One, Two, Three to highlight here. I...
Languages: English, German Run time: 124m 95% Rotten Tomatoes Can you believe I’ve still not seen Cabaret?! I’m such a phoney. Over here claiming to be a film fan but I’ve not seen one of the most beloved, showbizzy, Oscar-winning films of all time. Based on the novel The Berlin Stories (a book I desperately want to read), Liza Minnelli plays the i...
Languages: German, English Run time: 120m 91% Rotten Tomatoes The 1970s was a fantastic period for German film, partly in thanks to Reiner Werner Fassbinder, one of Germany’s most renowned filmmakers during the New German Cinema movement. Not unlike Cabaret, films in this era were much more daring in terms of graphic content and didn’t shy away fro...
Language: English Run time: 131m 41% Rotten Tomatoes Ahhh, James Bond. I can’t seem to write any film recommendation list without him showing his greasy, smug face. Even though Octopussy is one of the lesser Bond films and Roger Moore is the worst Bond (in my opinion), I feel compelled to include it. After all, the James Bond franchise is one of th...
Languages: German, English, French, Hebrew, Turkish, Spanish Run time: 127m 98% Rotten Tomatoes But do you know which film is a Berlin-set masterpiece? This film right here pals, Wings of Desire. It’s a romantic fantasy film that feels very much like a spiritual sequel to A Matter of Life and Death (1946) directed by Powell and Pressburger and one ...
Language: German Run time: 80m 93% Rotten Tomatoes For years, I thought that Run Lola Run was a weird, obscure film that German teachers played for the class when they couldn’t be arsed teaching before the Christmas and summer breaks. I didn’t know that it’s actually a highly-regarded thriller! And a fantastic film to watch before your trip to Berl...
Language: German Run time: 121m 90% Rotten Tomatoes There are so many wonderful things to love about Good-Bye, Lenin!. Firstly, the film stars a young Daniel Brühl before he went over to the dark side (i.e. Hollywood). Secondly, it’s has a so-ridiculous-it’s genius plot that could only ever happen in Berlin. A socialist-leaning family have their li...
Language: German Run time: 155m 90% Rotten Tomatoes Adolf Hitler: Possibly the most dehumanised villain in recent memory? Unlike Frankenstein’s Monster or Moby Dick, he has zero redeeming qualities and is not multifaceted. He isn’t misunderstood, he is pure evil. Which is whyfew WWII films feature this horrific monstrosity of a man, even fewer make...
