I am looking for quality German language films or tv shows with subtitles. I am also wondering if films are available in some of the lesser known languages like Plattdeutsch or Friesian.
Thank you.
Here are a few titles, all of them released rather recently, except the 1958 one. Sorry, just now my computer refuses to open my works tables (inter alia, of all movies I have ever seen), so I can only use my memory. But even from my memory I could unearth many more movies, if you are interested.
Would you be interested in black & white films?
I would be very surprised if any subtitled edition exists of “A Quite Ordinary Jew”. The entire movie consists of one monologue (but nevertheless it is not boring). But people making subtitles apply some formulas about the maximal number of letters during some interval. Hence, they are always forced to exclude some words. And all words in this movie are so important that none of them can be deleted.
Barfuss (Barefoot) by Til Schweiger
Auf der anderen Seite (At Heaven’s Edge) by Fatih Akin
**Ein ganz gewöhnlicher Jude (A Quite Ordinary Jew) by Oliver Hirschbiegel
Das Leben der Anderen (The Life of Others) by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Der Untergang (Downfall) by Oliver Hirschbiegel
Monpti by Helmuth Käutner (1958)
scharnbergmaxse's is a good choice indeed ...only "Das weiße Band" is missing (i mean, among the recent ones)
if you do like high quality tv series and long ones, i strongly recommend:
Heimat - Eine deutsche Chronik (1984), about 12 hours, masterpiece
Die zweite Heimat - Chronik einer Jugend (1992), about 25 hours, masterpiece also
