From doing just that I can tell that at least one title from that list isn't.

Let's see if I can remember the days of the week: Montag, Dienstag... blimey... Mittwoch! Barely... Donnerstag, I think. Freitag... Okay, legitimately can't untangle Saturday from many different (but confusingly similar) namings in different languages. Sonntag... Yep. Quite pathetic.

I mean, if I had occasion to productively use the language every day... But I mean, I don't live in a German-speaking country, and online, well, you have to actually set aside a significant amount of time. For example, you might take 10 minutes to write what you need on a forum like this... But for me that same amount information could easily expand into 2 hours if I had to convey it in German, what with checking and rechecking the connotations, conjugations and (can we get another alliteration?)... er, cases? Well, grammatical gender, really... Sigh.
I didn't read the description of the movie titles to well to figure out genre, just wanted to share the list. I tend to like comedies myself also crime dramas aswell. So I'll have to look for those.

I wrote down the days of the week in my notebook, Montag (Monday), Dienstag (Tuesday), Mittwoch (Wedensday), Donnerstag (Thursday), Freitag (Friday), Samstag (Saturday), at least I think that's Saturday, and Sonntag (Sunday). I also wrote down the months, but might have the incorrect translation for May (Mai is one of the translations and I'm hoping the correct one). I'm going to start writing down the days of the week, and the month in my notebook to start memorizing them.
