Not a must see, but I've posted so much about Herzog, that it seemed silly not to include it. I will probably see both his new films on the small screen. I love Herzog, but his movies make me very itchy. It takes a bit to get through them precisely BECAUSE you don't know what's going to happen next. The level of anxiety and dread rivals Bergman, though unlike Bergman, Herzog provides more unexpected release. (And seems to take his own work less seriously. He seems to think his films are very humorous. And in a sense they are.)
I think Fitzcarraldo is probably the one I would recommend. Though Wild Blue Yonder is probably my favorite. While Kaspar Hauser was the most upsetting. (I would spontaneously burst into tears for days after seeing that film.) But part of this is because I haven't seen very many yet. I creep through his films, just a few a year.
