Favorite Werner Herzog documentaries?

[Torque’sHeadBump]

I’m a pretty big fan of the fawkin guy. Very compelling ones for me include Happy People: A Year in the Taiga, of course Grizzly Man, and Encounters at the End of the World.

What other ones do the brothamen like?

La soufriere - visiting an island where a volcano is about to blow

I watch Into The Abyss like twice a year and will often go back to the shorter docs he made within the same timeframe as well. For as done to death as this "true crime" shit is now, ol 'Zog really made quality docs on the subject.



This one on a hillbilly that has to pretend to be retarded to avoid the needle is probably my favorite.

That’s right, I forgot Into the Abyss, one of my all time favs. I like the one hillbilly dude in the documentary who kinda got his shit together. He has his baby mama’s name tattoo’d on his arm and Herzog is really intrigued by that

Speaking of darkness I forgot about Lessons of Darkness. So necessary.
