Heyo, I’mma start learning German at uni and I want to know if anyone knows where I can get/stream German Language shows and movies. Preferably stream for free but paid is fine as well.
And as an extra, what are some of the best or culturally influential shows and movies in Germany, Austria, Switzerland etc.?
The works of Fassbinder (no, not the Magneto guy) and Herzog are quite essential. Any proper private tracker should have their kinos.

Dark is a netflix series filmed in German, make sure to take off the English dub.
It's preddy gud
Zachary Scott
Germany pretty much dubs everything, so you could just watch whatever show/movie in the dubbed version with optimal english subtitles if that may helpful
Liam Hughes
>ABSOLUTE GIGANTEN >LOLA RENNT >NAPOLA >TSCHICK
Alexander Reed
and normie sites here most used are probably kinox.to and movie4k.io
Asher Richardson
Also der Untergang and Steiner, das eiserne Kreuz. German WWII depression core is kino.
Evan Lee
Zwölfeläuten Das finstere Tal Anatomie Das Experiment
Nathan Evans

Cameron Bennett
Lola Rennt is kino
Adam James

You forgot Texas – Doc Snyder hält die Welt in Atem
Feuerzangenbowle Stromberg (German the office ) Asterix 1960-1980s animated movies (they are French but the German dub is top quality) Peter Frankenfeld or Heinz Erhardt (both famous entertainers just look them up on YouTube)
Connor Gray
Welt am Draht was basically the precursor of the 13th floor and the matrix. Warnung vor einer heiligen Nutte is interesting, Angst essen Seele auf triggers Cred Forums, Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss is the one every hipster saw and talks about.
Isaac Ward
thanks user
Bentley Foster
Das Leben der anderen (lives of others) is a kino.
Aiden Stewart
Its not for everyone, but i liked Tonny Erdman.
Jason Gutierrez

I would like to add
Pastewka Die Wand

Watch old simpsons with german synchro (which is surprisingly good). I can imagine already knowing all the episodes will help quite a bit.
Also: any Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill movies. Also: the Otto movies - not the new shit though, he grew old.
And of course: anything Helge Schneider. Pic. related. It's der Kommisar. Here's a tiny taste: youtube.com/watch?v=GXnRfHPEyLM It's glorious.
Jace Gonzalez
Oh, and if you check this youtube channel out: youtube.com/user/xXSweetLemon/ it got all the pumuckel episodes. >der brüller
Grayson Fisher
Deutschland 83 is a really good tv show especially if you like cold war stuff.
David Mitchell
there's probably like 10 movies people will be able to recommend and that's it. literally not a single german show is worth watching unless you're a massive pleb
it's pretty interesting to know why the German tv/movie landscape is filled with so much fucking dogshit. everyone with some German language skills should watch that Uwe Boll interview where he explains why Germans don't like taking risks at all when it comes to shows and movies
Josiah Sanders
I've only seen Berlin Alexanderplatz, but it's well worth watching
Carter Ortiz
there's this show called Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten. I think this board would definitely like it as the majority of the movies and shows discussed here have the same type of quality
Plötzlich Meerjungfrau. not even joking. story is easy to follow, dialogue is minimal and understandable even for intro German assuming you're not awful at languages. some are on youtube, put on subs and don't become a pedo
Jayden Turner
Im german and I hate german dubs, ever since I started listening to shows and films in original language, I started hearing how fake the dub sounds.
Ayden Barnes
>giving a shit about Uwe Bolls opinion faggot hasn't made a single good movie
Isaac Nguyen
Der Händler der Jahreszeiten Angst essen Seele auf
Jayden Lewis
Lenie Riefenstahls Nazipropganda films are actually kino
I would confirm that, if I hadn't watched archer with german dub, which is like 4 times better than original
Robert Sanders
Och, Bernd.
Josiah Baker
Not him but anything else than documentations are just trash tier,if you watch something from our state media (Ard/Zdf).
The entertainment shows are usually bad or for old people.And we don't even have to talk about all the talk shows with politicans. Anything political is extremly biased and directed into a certain light. I am not gonna say it is different in other countries and probably even worse.It still doesn't change the fact that is insanely emberassing that we have to pay for this garbage propaganda. They could sent their shit 24/7 if it was for free,but paying for this garbage ?
There are hardly any good formats,they are some, but it is in general just a big pile of shit.
Ryder Thomas
Kolberg. Interesting propaganda film about the napoleonic wars shot during final months of WW2. They even pulled soldiers from the front to act as extras. It has a weird Disney-esque vibe to it, especially the scenes with the prussian queen.
Ethan Robinson
Welt am Draht is kino
Carter Ortiz
stromberg. its the kraut version of the office and definitely has its moments
Ian Thomas
blacked and blackedraw is pretty good german kino
Elijah Flores
er ist wieder da is pretty hilarious, i'd recommend
William Smith
they needed to add a little more personality to the characters though. everyone is way too serious 24/7.
Samuel Brooks
for cartoons it's different because they're dubbed in every language
Justin Lewis
Is this a joke?
Thomas Wilson
Sketchup with Dieter Krebs.
Anything with Didi Hallervorden

Aufbruch ins Ungewisse is the greatest Propaganda Movie ever produced.
> in the future right-wing death squads attain control of all european countries > after the destruction of the last free newspaper a journalist and his family have to leave Germany to get asylum in South Africa > refugee camps there are made up of like 30 people, all journalists or bloggers > implying germans care about journalistic integrity enough to fucking flee their country > implying the majority isn't docile sheep that wouldn't care if foreigners get kicked in the gut
Picrelated is the only worthwhile moment of the entire movie, even with a budget higher than Hollywood itself ARD can't even show a dystopian Germany, the CGI budget was just enough for this stupid poster and a holographic computer screen.
Too much trash, just watch the dubbed version of your favorite american shows and movies. It reallly helps with learning a language because you already know what the characters say originally.
Jeremiah Morgan
I haven't watched the show but >everyone is way too serious 24/7. Have you met Germans? Sounds accurate af
Chase Davis
Watch "Der Schuh des Manitu" and "Traumschiff Surprise". Parodies of Winnetou and Star Trek
don't do this. German dubs are shit-tier eventhough they hate admiting it. It's the same 3 voice actors in every movie, and they speak with such a ridiculous over dramatic and over acted inflection, nobody irl talks like tha. And if you use those movies as a reference and try to immitate it, you'll end up sounding like someone who watches too much tv, in a bad way. It's acceptable for cartoons i guess. Watch the classic stuff that's well known by everyone, Goodbye Lenin, Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei, Das Experiment, unironically the few scenes in inglorious basterds lol, Toni Erdmann, Das Leben der Anderen
Jaxson Rivera
Nigger, the goal is to learn a language, not to enjoy the best dubs on the planet.
I learned German watching TV and everyone praised my eloquence and proper pronunciation since I was 8.
Das Leben der Anderen is good, I didn't say every german speaking original is trash, I said most of them are. Babylon Berlin is good too, to name a recent example.
