German movies & soaps

I'm not sure if there's already a thread on this, since I can't find the search function in this forum. Any Deutsche out there? I'm trying to improve my German so I'd really love to hear some recommendations especially on soaps. I've already watched: Das weisse Band Der Untergang Auf der anderen Seite Das Leben der Anderen Die freie Wille Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei Meinhof Baader Complex

I guess I won't be much help since I hardly ever watch TV and don't like any of the german soaps. ^^

I don't watch TV either despite being in Germany, but I really need to improve mein Deutsch so I'm forcing myself to watch. :( I've checked out a few soaps on Youtube (Sturm der Liebe, etc.) but they're really not my thing.

Looks like I'd have to watch Asian dramas with German subs instead. Do you know such a website? Dramacrazy only had french subs :(

I live in German but I really don't like german movies and tv series very much. But there are some tv shows which were very popular in the last years or critically acclaimed

Just wanted to recommend it too :D

Oh, and by the way I remember enjoying Goodbye Lenin, Keinorhhaasen and Barfuss (or was it Barfüsse...?); thoose were cute comedy with quite good actors!

Hey! I was a German Studies major in college. Which means I kind of know German, hehehe.. it's been a while. I did a German film class though one semester, so I ended up watching TONS of German movies.

My recs:
Goodbye, Lenin
Run, Lola, Run (Lola Rennt) - almost a 'short' film
The Marriage of Maria Braun
The Edukators
In Juli
Dresden - awesome miniseries
Sissi - historical miniseries/trilogy

Another fun thing to do.. for Kdrama fans.. is to find German-subbed dramas. It's a little disorienting at first (German and Korean are sooo different), but it helps on the conversational part. I've been watching a few dramas recently with German subs, and it's brought a lot back to my memory. You can sometimes find them on Daily Motion. Or, visit http://0saranghae.de/wordpress/projekte/

My favorite German TV-series is Unsere Mütter Unsere Väter. It's simply awesome!
