Aguirre, The Wrath of God
Cobra Verde
Fitzcarraldo
Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht
Wings of Desire
Metropolis
The American Friend
M

Hmm. I think that covers all the German movies I've seen, and I don't think the last two are that great.

These polls that make me confront my lack of knowledge about world cinema are very depressing. But I'm working on it.
