Kino Favorites: The Top Ten German Dramas

What are the best German films of all time? That was the question the team at Kino, DW-TV's cinema show, set out to answer with our new series.

But, quickly, we ran into problems of definition. What does best actually mean? The most successful, the most critically-acclaimed, or maybe the most influential? And by what measure: box office performance, international sales, festival awards?

We didn't want to use some outside measure, be it ticket sales or Oscar wins, to rank our list. Taste is subjective, particularly taste in movies. So we dumped all claims of objectivity. We decided to call the series Kino Favorites. These are our favorite films, the best German movies according to us. Feel free to disagree. We know we're right. Did your favorites make the cut? Take a look and tell us what you think.
