Werner Herzog is the 46th director in this series that I've seen/met in person.

 

[george kaplan]

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).

Rank order:

Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972)

 

[Rob Tomlin]

I simply must see more of his films given that I absolutely love, and own the following on DVD:

Aguirre: The Wrath of God :star::star::star::star:1/2

Fitzcarraldo :star::star::star::star:1/2

 

[Brook K]

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. Lessons of Darkness - A-

12. My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? - A-
*13. Cobra Verde - A- (carried by imagery and Kinski's unbridled energy)
14. The Dark Glow of the Mountains - B+
15. The White Diamond - B+
16. Little Dieter Needs To Fly - B+
17. Where the Green Ants Dream - B+
18. The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - B+
19. Encounters at the End of the World - B+
20. Invincible - B+
21. Ballad of the Little Soldier - B+
22. The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner - B+
23. Signs of Life - B

24. Cave of Forgotten Dreams - B
25. Fata Morgana - B
26. La Soufrière - B
27. Rescue Dawn - B
*28. 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.)
29. Land of Silence and Darkness - B-
30. Precautions Against Fanatics - B-
31. Wheel of Time - C+
32. How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck... - C
33. The Wild Blue Yonder - C

34. Ode to the Dawn of Man - C

Own: 10 and have My Best Fiend on VHS

Not seen any Herzog, sadly, though he is on my list.

 

[DavidBC]

I really want to see more Herzog, but he's not so easy to track down in my tiny city :frowning: . But I have seen:

Nosferatu - A

and

Even Dwarves Started Small - C

STOP THE PRESS!!!!

A late addition in honor of this thread, Brook K and Werner Herzog

Stroszek (1977) :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: (Own the DVD)

Original post has been updated for illustrious posterity.

 

[Brook K]

In other news, a Hamilton, Ontario barbershop was held up by a man carrying a large turkey tucked under his arm.

 

[SteveGon]

Here's some cool news, courtesy of DVDJournal:

 

[Brook K]

Excellent, I just hope the Week-End transfer is a good one. I really liked Sterrit's commentary for Les Carabiners, glad he got the chance to do another one. New Yorker has improved a lot from the old days when they were comparable to Fox Lorber.

They're also releasing Bresson's L'Argent in a couple of weeks.

 

[Bill McA]

ADDITION:

Cobra Verde (1987) :star: :star: :star:

 

[Arman]

Added (did bit of an upgrade) My Best Fiend with 4 :star:s ratings and it's final, am elevating Nosferatu to masterpiece status!

 

[Bill McA]

UPDATED:

Woyzeck :star: :star: :star: (1979) (Own the DVD)

Grizzly Man - A- (With the caveat that I still have many, many films to see from this year; this is the movie of the year so far)
