I have watched Aguirre: The Wrath of God, and liked it. I want to watch another Herzog's movie. I want to try just one movie, because I have a big list anyway, and can't afford watching several, unless I like the second one too. I'm personally thinking between Fitzcarraldo and The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. I've read the short descriptions of them, and Fitzcarraldo looked like something very similar to Aguirre, and I'd probably like to see something more different. Kaspar Hauser on the other hand looked somewhat intriguing. What would you suggest me?
Let me add something. What I liked about Aguirre is a dreamy style, and the music. I'd like to see something similar, but not necessarily the similar story.
Haven't seen Kaspar Hauser yet but I can gladly recommend the other Kinski/Herzog movies.
>Fitzcarraldo
>Cobra Verde
>Nosferatu
>My Best Fiend
>Woyzeck
I'd say watch Fitzcarraldo or Cobra Verde next.
Bad Lieutenant

If you liked the dreamy style and music then I'd definitely recommend Nosferatu

Both films are great depictions of high powered autism, but I'd say watch Fitzcarraldo first. I didn't enjoy Kaspar Hauser as much as I expected, personally.
I think you would like Stroszek too.
Kaspar Hauser is unironically my favorite herzog film and possibly favorite movie of all time.
Aguirre plays like a fevered boat dream, kaspar hauser more like..sleeping your entire life then being woken up

did you watch Stroszek yet?
Bad Lieutenant is great and also fits your description but only from a modern perspective. Otherwise Nosferatu.

I hated Aguirre and Nosferatu. The only other film of his that I've seen is cobra verde and I liked it. It's not special but it's pretty interesting to watch.
