I have always loved the German culture. I think that if one has to rate cultures, the German culture should in all fairness be #1 in the world (the best music and philosophy) - just ahead of the French culture, which a very-very close second. As for the German people, I haven't known that many. Maybe a dozen. So I can't generalize.

To add. Right now i am finishing Goethe's Elective Affinities (in English, of course).

I read that when Goethe was 12, he learned Yiddish, and when he was 13, he learned Hebrew. I wonder why? What influenced him? I know that he was from Frankfurt, and Frankfurt was a big Jewish center. Maybe he saw a lot of Jews around, and became curious about their culture.

I love them as a nation and a people, but unfortunately many are too socialist.

Germans make really weird movies. Check out any Werner Herzog film.

Modern Germans are for the most part overwhelmingly liberal, and thus, anti-semitic.

Movies Made in the USA are still my favorites

Some movies are very good - Stalingrad, Das Boot. Still, I prefer French, British and Italian movies.

I don't want to sound insulting or dismissive but I really don't agree with that. Yes, Germany is highly technologically advanced and modern, but that means nothing. Nazi Germany was highly advanced and sophisticated also--it was the most high-tech nation in the world at the start of WWII (thanks in large part to the very Jewish scientists it so persecuted). Germany TODAY is ferociously anti-Israel and I do believe that average Germans feel that way (not just the government), and are also allowing Muzslime to take over their own country. Until I see evidence that vast numbers of Germans have repented of their Nazi past (and present), I just can't have anything positive to say about them.
I think Germans and other European are too docile and indifferent to the muslim intentions. Germany is the #1 exporter in the world, still ahead of china, Japan and America. I believe the mentality of this country is accordingly, they want to please everyone and sell their merchandise to everyone, no question asked.
