Mine would have to be this one…

A strange and beautiful film about a mans obsession in getting a boat from one part of a rain forest to another. The story, direction, photography and music are all top notch. Plus Klaus Kinski is as intense as ever. One of the finest films of the 80’s.

    for some reason I really love Grizzly Man, I dunno what the appeal is specifically, it's just incredibly odd, unintentionally funny and quite profound.

    Also liked Rescue Dawn, thought it was a decent film but it got shitty reviews for some reason.

    And Aguirre, the Wrath of God - once seen never forgotten. :D

    I thought he'd made more films than that...

    My favourites are Aguirre followed by the Enigma of Kasper Hauser.

    Calm down. Nurse will be along in a minute.

    Kasper Hauser for me, but as mentioned he's made a fair few other gems along the way. Nosferatu another.

    I've only seen four...

    Aguirre Wrath of God - Very memorable ending, but I was pretty bored for the first two thirds. It takes a long time to get where it's going. Spanish conquistadores speaking German was also a bit distracting.

    Grizzly Man - Spent most of it trying to figure out how much of it was fake. Good, otherwise. Nice soundtrack.

    Nosferatu the Vampyre - Nice and creepy, but I'd rather watch the original.

    The Wild Blue Yonder - Another faux documentary about space travel. Didn't like this one. It's a bit like a Jacques Cousteau film, only with bad acting added in for good measure.
