@ wpqx: 

If you desire to see more contemporary German films (and not German mainstream as "The Downfall" or "The Perfume"), the more interesting and worthwhile German films of the last few years mostly are available with English subtitles here; that reminds me one more time that I have to finish that index of English friendly German DVDs. "Run Lola Run" is a fine film but definitely not the best German film of the last 20 years. Hope you'll get a chance to see Tykwer's "Deadly Maria" and "Winterschläfer" in the Future. 

The main unpleasant thing about the availability of German films in the US (of all international countries, Japan, France and Greece (!) probably offer the most diverse assortment) is that they almost only release our classics and popular films. Many of the films on my list (like "The Endless Night" or "Seven Days of Grace" [which was promoted in the US as a horror film at its time - absurd, as it is a reserved boarding school drama with some crime elements. You could probably count Germany's horror films on two hands, the genre isn't very popular here]) will probably never appear on DVD in the US (and aren't available on VHS, too). So, I'm not surprised that your list consists of renowned classics ("Not Reconciled" is an exception, though. It's an invisible film. How did you get to see it?). 

@ All: 

Just wanted to add that the inclusion of "The Dark Eyes of London" and "The Treasure of Silver Lake" is a bit special. Both films are warm childhood / youth memories (not only for me but for millions of Germans) and belong to the small number of features which I've seen over and over again over the years, probably, I've seen both around 10, 15 times or so. Though my point of view is different nowadays (much of the erstwhile magic has gone), I still love and adore the Karl May and Edgar Wallace-Films very much (the Wallace films first evoked my fascination for cinema), even though I know that they're extremely naive and kitschy. So, I simply had to include one film of each series in my list. Beside that, they're already a part of our cultural history and are shown on TV over and over again. Every German knows Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, as well as Joachim Fuchsberger in the repeating role of the young and charming Scotland Yard Inspector (opposed by villains like Gert Fröbe, Klaus Kinski and Albert Lieven). 

A told me that it's all right to expand the lists. 

Oh, and if you want to know more about one of those films, ask me! (I believe A has more luck because he already reviewed many of his favourites ).
