Netflix Streaming offers an ever-widening variety of German films and they stream with English subtitles, which is one of my most-recommended ways to learn German, second only to watching a German movie with German subtitles. One movie popped up in "Random Picks": the rom-com What A Man.
Teacher Alex has a girlfriend named Cora, who walks out on him, and he takes a hilarious adventure to find himself, accompanied by friends Nele and Okke. It's a story you've seen before, however not like this! Plus, the film is set in Frankfurt, known for its sky-scrapers and scenic walkways long the Rhein River and that is exactly the feast for the eyes that you get in the first 20 minutes of the movie.
What a Man is rated R. There is a lot of slang and 'Umgangssprache,' so be prepared to hear some vulgar German.

There’s a lively conversation rolling around the internet about this ad, which just won the top prize at the “First Step Awards.” A young Hitler in his Austrian village is run-over and killed by a Mercedes-Benz* that recognizes dangers, before they appear. (The slogan used in the short film: “Erkennt Gefahren, bevor sie entstehen".)
Meine Empfehlung: Die Kommentare zu diesem Artikel unbedingt lesen!
Hier geht's zum Artikel bei Spiegel.de.
*Mercedes-Benz has officially distanced itself from the advertisement, as mentioned in the article linked above.

An oldie and a goodie. By now, most German students have seen this movie, as it was released in 1999, and if you've been to Berlin, you have a pretty good idea of what the look of this movie is. It's spectacular.
Get it on DVD from Amazon. Stream it on Netflix.

With the handsome Til Schweiger and the enchanting Johanna Wokalek, this is a great date movie and unfortunately really hard to track down in the US. Currently I can only find it on a Region 2 DVD from Amazon, however I did request it at Netflix, so maybe they will acquire it at some point.
Back to the story: Til Schweiger is a bachelor and a bit of a Frauenheld (womanizer) and ends up in a mental institution to do public service. Johanna Wokalek is a patient there and awkwardness, depth of emotion, tension, and hilarity ensue. The subtitle is "Wie weit gehst du, wenn du verliebt bist?" How far will you go when you're in love?
