igot into it watching a friend's DVDs, it's brilliant, lots of knowing nods to the adult audience, at it's best reminds you of Ren and Stimpy. The old ones were good but I think the guy who plays spongebob changed at some point, it fell off

I kept mistaking Russel Crowe's character for Alec Baldwin and I had to cover my eyes a few times, but overall it was exciting, clever, and a really good film.

Loved the different points of view angle of the movie, and how during each person's story it cut away during the climax, essentially giving the viewer blue balls until the end.

Yeah, it was really fantastic. I don't understand how it got such a mediocre reception... I think I liked it better than The Dark Knight.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)

I am vaguely familiar with Werner Herzog having seen random films now and then to which I can never remember the titles... if they haven't been excellent documentaries they have been real-life dramas with a documentary feel. One of his latest was an excellent POW film with Christian Bale called Rescue Dawn, highly recommended.

Anyhow Aguirre is perhaps his most famous work and I must've caught the ending on TV several times over the years, but what a beautiful film! Beady-eyed Klaus Kinski as the titular crazy bastard is great of course, I love the funny crab shuffle/limp he did - so cute!

The film depicts events that actually took place, a doomed mid-16th Century Spanish expedition to find the legendary riches of El Dorado in the Amazon basin

I don't normally go in-depth at the risk of sounding like a dolt, but the themes addressed in Aguirre were clear and done so in a compelling fashion, all with (what seemed like) great attention to period detail: the folly of the white man and his tireless ambition and greed, Old Europe/Christianity's relentless rape of a peaceful world that was far better off without them... Aguirre is mad but he personifies these ideals in his delusion.

Along the way we're treated to some amazing one-off shots and genuine 'how did they do that?' moments; and as you would expect from a German documentary filmmaker there are no cheap tricks or frills, you are there in the muck with the leeches, humidity and hopelessness. Oh and this one is on youtube as well so get in there!

1972, I had no idea this film was that old... Here's a good video for those who have already seen the film, Aguirre's reputation for it's hellish shoot precedes it.

I thought it was painfully average, but I've seen Little Dieter needs to fly which is one of my all time favorite documentaries and tells the same story only through the eyes of the actual protagonist...

I also preferred El Dorado to Aguirre, it had a much more dreamlike atmosphere and better cinematography...:\
