I really enjoyed "Das Leben der Anderen" this year. I'm just wondering what German movies can we look forward to over here on DVD in 2008?

"Mein Führer", I don't know when it'll be released on DVD though

I can recommend anythign with and/or from Till Schweiger.

Barfuss, Der Eisbaer and Knocking on Heavens Door for instance. Should all be available on DVD.

that includes releases of international movies, mind.

old dvd's worth a look imho are
- 'das boot' (5 hour tv version, much closer to the original book)
- kleine haie (comedy)
- superstau (comedy/satire on the german's holiday habits in the 80s)
- die feuerzangen bowle (classic light comedy)
- bang boom bang (comedy)
- nosferatu (original from 1928)
- die bruecke (from 1959, one of the best "anti war" movies I've seen)
- die blechtrommel (cause i'm a pretentious little fecker)
- wir kinder vom bahnhof zoo (biography of a heroin addict, a real downer)
- das experiment (how will people act when given power. very good)
- (T)raumschiff Surprise, Periode 1 (comedy. funny as hell and a good indication that germany is going to hell in a handbasket )
- grosse freiheit nummer 7 (simpler times)
- der totmacher (analysis of a serial killer)
- der bewegt mann (comedy on sex and human relations)

Some more older ones:

Lola Rennt
Elementarteilchen

And because my sense of humour is quite childish:
Erkan & Stefan (the first one)
Schuh des Manitu

And for some Austrian/Irish Crossover:
In Schwimmen-Zwei-Vögel
