Definitely a weakness in my seen list, though I'm pretty certain I've seen more than this (the plot of Fitzcarraldo rings a bell for instance).

Definitely a favorite, I would put Fassbinder and Murnau ahead of him, but I love Herzog's work too. He is a true visionary, with few exceptions his films are unlike any others and he is able to capture the most incredible, unforgettable images.
*1. Aguirre, The Wrath of God - A (top 20 all-time)
*2. Stroszek - A (tragic, absurd, sad, grand, unforgettable)
*3. Even Dwarfs Started Small - A (go with 4 stars Bill!  )
*4. Fitzcarraldo - A
*5. Nosferatu, The Vampyre - A (often forgotten when discussing remakes, even by me, but it is one of the best. Kinski makes a terrific vampire and Bruno Ganz is a haunting Jonathan Harker)
*6. Ten Minutes Older: The Trumpet (2002) (segment "Ten Thousand Years Older") - A (absolutely devastating...another people doomed by our failure to learn from history, arrogance, and greed)
7. My Best Fiend - A- (Ode to Kinski with another unforgettable final image)
*8. Heart Of Glass - A-
*9. Every Man For Himself And God Against All - A-
10. Grizzly Man - A-
*11. Cobra Verde - A- (carried by imagery and Kinski's unbridled energy)
12. The White Diamond - B+
13. Little Dieter Needs To Fly - B+
14. Invincible - B+
15. Rescue Dawn - B
*16. Woyzeck - B- (incredible opening and closing scenes but the rest is disjointed and somewhat uninteresting. Began shooting 3 days after Nosferatu wrapped with Kinski completely exhausted.)
17. The Wild Blue Yonder - C
Own: 10 and have My Best Fiend on VHS taped off of IFC
Would like to see pretty much everything I haven't seen with the possible exception of some of the opera stuff. Most want to see The Unprecedented Defence of the Fortress Deutchkreuz (for the great title if nothing else), Woodcarver Steiner, Where the Green Ants Dream, Lessons in Darkness, Land of Silence and Darkness, God's Angry Man.
Yes, Captain Hammer's here, hair blowing in the breeze. The day needs my saving expertise! - Captain Hammer, Corporate Tool

Last 10 Films Watched:
Mon Oncle Antoine - B / Late Autumn - A-
Paranoid Park - B / An Autumn Afternoon - A
