***For German cinema I prefer Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo is my favorite) and of course Wim Wenders.I would need to go deep into my memory to find out which German directors I really like besides Wenders. Fitzcaraldo was good, but I can't forgive Herxog for "Nosferatu the Vampyre", and his "Aguirra" was not too much to my taste either. It's been many years since I watched any of his movies, though.
And in general I would take the Italian, French, English, Australian, Polish, Russian, Swedish movies any day over the German ones - just my taste, of course.
***It's funny, I'm catching my wife up on movies these days since she never really watched them growing up. Films like The Maltese Falcon and even Apocalypse Now have been refrenced and parodied so much that it's hard to appreciate the impact they first had on our culture.
For every one like that there are hundreds that aren't. I don't recall Bicycle Thief being mentioned too much, for instance.
Good luck with that task.
