TitleRecommended Films in German for Younger Learners
Body
I have had success with the following movies:

The Sound of Music - The only movie I show in English

Nosferatu - The 1979 Werner Herzog version

Wir Können Auch Anders (No More Mr. Nice Guy) From Inter Nationes with English subtitles and very funny: http://www.goethe.de/kug/kue/ flm/bes/deindex.htm

Schneewittchen - from Icestorm: http://www.icestorm-video.com

Rumpelstilzchen - Icestorm

Das Singende Klingende Bäumchen - Also from Icestorm and so corny it's good

Das Wunder von Bern - A must show film!

Emil und die Detektive - 1954 version from Inter Nationes with English subtitles

Die Brücke - a classic WWII anti-war movie, many of the actors that played the boys are famous today in Germany

Rennschwein Rudi Rüssel - A cute story without English but with DfH subtitles. I show it in the second semester and they understand a lot of it.

Amadeus - One of the American Film Institute's top 100. Dubbed in German with English subtitles. Two thumbs up.

Harry Potter - Dubbed in German with English subtitles. OK, so these last two contain no authentic German culture but they sure help my enrollments when I show them at registration time.

Findet Nemo
