I suppose I should at least see TOTW and Olympia, but frankly, neither is high on the list.

Just Triumph of the Will from her, but also The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl.

Jim has a point, and indeed, I was hesitant to start this thread since I haven't seen any of Riefenstahl's films (though I've certainly heard of her). I wanted to gauge reactions of those members who HAVE seen some of her movies. Not too much feedback thus far which leads me to believe I've no reason to move them up on my to-see list.
