I've already finished watching Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo.
Should the other Herzog-Kinski films or are they not worth it?

Should I see*
No watch
Even dwarves
Kaspar Hauser
and
Stroszek instead
Yes, Nosferatu the Vampyre is a must-watch
?si=Ks0lWPbfHTBW4KRG
This, it's one of the mosg hypnotic movies you'll ever see
I realize this is such a pretentious way to describe a movie but it's the only word I can think of
Also it has Bruno Ganz of Der Untergang fame
I always describe it as a boring but mesmerizing movie
Also a kino soundtrack and awesome band.
Is Cobra Verde good?
The images look kino as shit
The performance from Kinski and directing from Herzog were top-tier, but the story and writing just aren't as engaging IMO
I will say though, the ending is a lot more poignant in the context that it was their last collaboration
All the kino images you're seeing are from a 5 minute scene in the movie, the rest is boring
It's a masterpiece, but zoomies have been getting filtered by it since Herzog hit the public consciousness.
>thousands of extras marching in lockstep
>shot like a national geographic documentary
>but is actually epic acid western docu fiction
>"this one is... weird!!! I wanted... big boat over mountain and... le spooky plot!!"
Pisses me off because what he accomplishes in this film is monumental.
check the scene at 59:38, the arrival of the chief:

Shit like this is why Cobra Verde hits higher peaks than any of his other films. It is filled with the craziest stuff Herzog ever shot, he just lets the camera roll and the action play out and it achieves pure poetic insanity. And it is filled with it start to finish.
the way he leaves the mistakes in, like the king not knowing if he is supposed to start dancing or not adds to the surreal dgaf vibe of the film.
Nosferatu the Vampyre is worth a watch, the rest are meh
What was Klaus's problem
He's g*rman
Male BPD mixed with severe narcissism

Dude would have been one of the funniest actors ever if he had an ounce of self-awareness
He was born in Gdańsk. No idea why, but this city just breeds maniacs. My family from grandmothers side is from there, and they are all lolcow-lever autists.
He was literally a Nazi.
>Kinski was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in 1943 at the age of 17, serving in a Fallschirmjäger unit. He saw no action until the winter of 1944, when his unit was transferred to the German-occupied Netherlands and he was captured by the British Army on his second day of combat.
>conscripted
>into the Wehrmacht
So not a Nazi
>YOU ARE NOT A NAZI IF YOU FIGHT IN THE NAZI ARMY
You chuddies are hilarious
do you understand what conscription is?
>You are not really a Nazi if you kill hundreds of people in the name of Hitler even if you had the opportunity to refuse to fight
Good mental gymnastics you have there
is this irony?
yes you fricking moron
Wehrmacht was the regular German army.
SS/SA were nazi armies.
Not Kinski but I just watched Family Romance LLC and it was absolutely kino as frick I never see anyone talk about it

Although reddit hates kinski since it became known that he abused his daughter
Cobra Verde is not as good, but still good. Nosferatu is kino. Woyzeck is whatever, limited from being an adaptation of some random play.
Cobra being a lesser film is a misconception because people tend to binge watch all the films back to back, and it doesn't hit the same buttons as the others. You have to take it as its own thing, Werner Herzog doing an old fashioned Hollywood epic, except with Kinski. It is a gigantic mindfrick, acid western, with his most insane and complex scenes ever.
>Woyzeck is whatever, limited from being an adaptation of some random play.
Zoomers ladies and gentlemen. Absolute 50 IQ morons every one of them
>Woyzeck
The thing about the soldier eating peas? Boring. But all the other ones were great, Corbra Verde, Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo especially.
I quite like My Best Fiend, Herzog's documentary about their relationship.
I love the part where Herzog casually drops that he tried to firebomb Kinski while he slept and the only thing that stopped him was Kinski's dog
Cobra Verde is equal, even better than those. It is Herzog's peak as a director.
Does anyone else think Herzog made Nosferatu too gay?
>best Herzog doc
Cave of Forgotten Dreams
>best Herzog feature
Heart of Glass
Kinski unionically would have been a great Joker
