I highly recommend anyone interested in Herzog see MY BEST FIEND, a documentary on Herzog and Kinski.
Tis already on my Netflix queue.

This is what I hear and never have been fortunate to see it. A film about Spanish conquistadors in German? SoldAguirre Wrath of God is one of the best movies ever.
Seriously.

I just came back home after seeing "Babel." It wasn't very good I thought but it is kinda thought provoking.

The Departed sucked donkey balls.
Not to mention that its a remake of a Chinese movie that came out 4 years ago...

Duh. It wasn't like Scorcese was trying to cover that up. Most if not all people I know who have seen both said this was the better (and darker) version.Not to mention that its a remake of a Chinese movie that came out 4 years ago...
I can understand people not liking the Departed, but to say it outright sucked is shocking. And I do really like all those movies you've listed save Babel - haven't seen it and no overwhelming desire to).

If Scorsese then Taxi Driver and that's about it!
When I have a minute I will post a list of films that I watched in the last 2-3 years and that impressed me.

My conversations with you, and the pleasure I have gained from reading your posts on these boards, have me thoroughly convinced that you are a man gifted with sharp intelligence, great erudition, and impeccable taste. It would stand to reason that you are an admirer of Herog. Stroszek has a place on any short list of my favorite films. The dream sequence at he end of Invincible, where Zische and the boy are climbing on the rocks at Christmas Island, while Beethoven's Piano Concerto in C minor plays, is as beautiful and poetic as anything in the cinematic arts.
If any of you do not already own the excellent Herzog DVD box set, you need to buy it, or at least shoplift a copy. Here's a link to the amazon.com listing:

Indulge me a bit while I plug a friend's work. The liner notes for this DVD collection were written by Jim Knipfel who, when he is not busy working as this nation's funniest living author, is also my dearest friend and drinking buddy.
So all of you, remember this, when you reach the moment of decision, when you must decide what music recording to purchase, what draft beer to order, what concert ticket to buy, or what song to put on the jukebox, just ask yourself this simple question:
What would Ben Burton do?
