I've watched part of the enormous film version of Berlin Alexanderplatz which Gus Van Sant recommended to me years ago, but it was just too long a film i guess, its like 10 tapes or something and I could never quite get through it.. Reading about Doblin just now on Wikipedia this title sounded interesting Berge, Meere und Giganten which was set in a dystopian futureworld. I'm reading David Mitchel's Cloud Atlas at the moment.
I like them all as well! And you! But best of all I recommend Alfred Doblin's Tales of a Long Night - which I just finished - he did Berlin Alexanderplatz - and this is probably the best literary/philosophy/fiction work I've read in a very long time. Please give it a try!
