Keep in mind, Schindler was a Czeck, so don't say Schindler's list. Hollywood has had it out for Germans ever since WW2, isn't it time they backed off on the German = Badguy theme!?

To be accurate: Schindler was born in Zwittau/Sudetenland that at that time (1908) belonged to Austria-Hungary. He also belonged to the sudetendeutsche minority and was a member of the Sudetendeutsche Partei, a forerunner of the NSDAP that was forbidden in Czecheslovakia, since 1935 and of the NSDAP since 1939. In 1958 he 'returned' to Germany, so obviously he 'felt' he was German. He wasn't the nice and unselfish character as which the film describes him. But in comparison to most Germans of those days he looked like an idol.
+ Most Hollywood films that feature German characters are set in WWII - it's probably hard to find too many nice Germans representing this period. But still there usually is one good German guy. I think that's more than fair. + Franka Potente in the Bourne Identity/Bourne Supremacy is a good girl, etc., etc.

I have yet to see Germans portrayed as good guys in any movie. I figure (in sticking with the reveal the plot in the title gimmick employed by Snakes on a Plane) that Hollywood should come out with a movie titled "Germans, Perfectly Nice People" and cast Canadians as the bad guys. (And as I am Canadian I can say that)

Yes, Monarch of the Glen had an episode where the good guy was a German. Maybe in series 4?

Run Lola Run, Sophie's Choice (I haven't seen it, but I'm pretty sure that the main character is Sophie Scholl, a German heroine), the Black Rider

Not a made in U.S. movie. Probably some movie made in Germany would have German good guys. Likewise, have you seen any movie made in U.S. where an Arab was a good guy? I think not.
