The Good Neighbour (film)
The Good Neighbour () is a 2011 German drama/thriller film directed by Stephan Rick. It premiered in competition at the 2011 Shanghai International Film Festival and was screened at the 2011 Montreal World Film Festival and the Hof International Film Festival. 

In 2022, Rick directed an English-language remake of his own film (under the same title), starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Robert Graetz, Luke Kleintank as David Ahrens, Eloise Smyth as Vanessa Rafael, Bruce Davison as Grant and Ieva Florence as Janine Rafael.

The Good Neighbour was shot on location in Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden (including the Waldenecksee) and Mannheim, Germany. The thriller, about a new friendship between two men that takes a dark turn, is Rick's debut feature film. His previous work, the children's TV series Allein gegen die Zeit, had been nominated for the German Television Award and the International Emmy Award. The film received half its funding from German broadcaster ARD's SWR unit and from the film fund of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Charly Hübner was awarded "Best German actor" of 2013, a Golden Camera Award.
