I've only seen Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) and his documentary/show about the incarcerated killers but I have a hard time believing anything he's done is better than Cage doing coke and screaming at old ladies.

I prefer "Nosferatu", "Heart of Glass", "Aguirre", "Woyzeck", "Signs of Life", "The Wild Blue Yonder" and "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?"

nosferatu is my favorite. peak surrealism, grim photography, mesmerizing soundtrack.

Stroszek. It is his most touching drama.
Shout out to Cobra Verde which I have a sift spot for.

Grizzly Man is my favourite of his.

Grethiwha · 10-17-2018, 12:51 PM

I've seen most of his films, so easier to just link the list I made on IMDb, in which I ranked everything I've seen of his (including shorts), and wrote comments (and listed the titles I still need to track down or watch)...

TLDR: I like Heart of Glass and Stroszek best.
