Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I agree, but what makes his films great are the timeless themes and

the complex and urgent way he explores them.
Not all his films, I'm sure you know, are 70s looking, specifically the great BRD trilogy.
Finally, at no time-- unlike when one is watching "Easy Rider--" does one get the impression the director is a part of the "scene."
Fassbinder, in Fox and His Friends, made a film which very much shows the culture of its day but without, almost forty years later, appearing dated.
I hope you didn't mean to imply that?
The carnies, the factory owners--- all of their strata faithfully were portrayed, in actions and, yes, apparel, which is the mark of a good filmmaker.
But maybe you can explain which film you mean as having strong flavor of its time?
Rereading your comment I hope you didn't mean that, no matter which German era Fassbinder approached, he did so trapped in a certain era. I'd argue that would be a cruel insult and wrong as hell.
