I like to watch films in German. If anyone can recommend German language film(s) to me, I’d appreciate it.
I have watched and thoroughly enjoyed “Das Boot” and “Schultze Gets the Blues.”
Any other German language films out there and rentable? When I ask at Blockbuster they just say umm, I don’t know.

My all-time favorite, the tale of how Tsar Peter married the poet Pushkin's great grandfather into Russian nobility:

Let me add German films WITHOUT NUDITY, as in PG sort of rated? Those Europeans always seem to be strippin’ down...

I second your motion, on both counts. Lives of Others was phenomenal. I saw Moliere (made in 2006 or 2007) a few months ago. It didn’t receive the critical acclaim - probably because it’s a comedy/drama. But, it was quite entertaining, as is anything that starring Laura Morante.

"The Island." Freeper Kolokotronis recommended it to me. Here's the Netflix blurb:
"Father Anatoli (portrayed by former Russian rock star Pyotr Mamonov) lives a hermitlike existence in a remote Russian Orthodox monastery, where he's visited by people who believe he has the power to heal, see the future and exorcise demons. But Anatoli's odd behavior confuses his fellow monks, who are unaware that he's tortured by a past sin and considers himself an unworthy fraud. Pavel Lungin directed this poignant parable.

Das Boot

"Let me add German films WITHOUT NUDITY, as in PG sort of rated? " Those are going to be some slim pickens. It's seems like all the better European films have at least some skin in them.

Well, I am quite sure you didn't intend to exclude foreign made silent films from the list. Therefore, if I may be so bold, I would like to offer my favorite foreign film of all time:
Fritz Lang's "Metropolis!"
Cheers

Sophie Scholl and Rosenstrasse do not have violence or nudity. They’re just gripping human dramas, both based on true stories and set during WWII.

Yes, even the kids’ shows I rented from Goethe Institute had the joyful host sliding (side view) into the tub, taking off his clothes (butt only) for a swim, changing clothes. . . my kids are like, what is it about German people?
So if anyone has any German films without buck nekkid Germans in them, do tell. My kids watch with me, and we don’t go there.

"Recent film where assassins were trying to kill the Chinese emperor and at the end the guy had a chance to kill him with one move (he got close enough by supposedly killing other assassins) but he wanted China to be united and didnt do it. He died in a hail of arrows like 300.""Hero?" With Jet Li? Such a GORGEOUS movie. Wow. Pure eye-candy.
