I was not long watching a movie (M-Fritz Lang, Germany if it helps) and the windowsills were huge. Almost no houses own windowsills anymore, why?

The wide windowsills be necessary to accommodate gooey walls. Nowadays builders skimp on the details like that and merely sheetrock where a sill would travel unless it is a double hung window.
