This list is a companion to the official list of Letterboxd's Top 100 German films.

// Eligibility criteria

The following German co-productions with high ratings were deemed ineligible:
Great Freedom (Austria), Paris, Texas (USA), Mephisto (Hungary)

Not eligible, and therefore excluded, are: Miniseries. TV specials. Stand-up specials. Stage plays and operas. Concert films. Documentaries and short films. Adult films and any entry of the Schoolgirl Report series of films.

This list was inspired by Léo Barbosa's list of National Treasures.
