Re: German movies/shows/songs recommendations

Personally, I really, really hate Rammstein, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Music: I think Die Ärzte are pretty entertaining. There are quite a few German/Austrian bands which all sound quite similar (Wir sind Helden, Silbermond, Christina Stürmer) that belong to the pop genre. I like Ich&Ich as well. Unheilig is another matter of taste, but the singer has a pretty clear pronounciation, so that might be helpful?
You could also try German/Austrian musicals, like Elisabeth or Tanz der Vampire if that's more your kind of music.

Movies/Series: If you're not too weirded out by it, you could try looking for German dubs of shows you already know? Most big American shows have been dubbed already. For a real classic in German TV, look for Tatort - it's the longest running crime series in Germany. If you want to look into some comedy/cabaret, stay away from anything Mario Barth. Comedians in general can be quite tricky because of their dialects.
Rainald Grebe is my personal favourite cabaret artist, but he's... interesting ahaha.

Books: Krabat by Ottfried Preußler (It's my absolute favourite. But it might have some difficult vocabulary for the start? But it has an English translation - The Satanic Mill - and a concept album by A.S.P. which is based on both the book and the legend it's based on.)
Another classic I loved when I was a kid is "Die Rote Zora" by Kurt Held/Kläber.
Cornelia Funke has a few cute books as well.
Having German translations of a book you already know might also be helpful?
