What are you watching? 
Working my way through this epic Bergman collection, 39 films.
Just ordered Baraka and Samsara from Amazon. Should make for some enjoyable viewing over the weekend. Thanks for the recommend.
@dlee Over the weekend I had the pleasure of viewing Baraka and Samsara for the first time. These are easily two of the best movie recommendations I’ve received in years. Without saying a word both these films convey such emotion and awe. I really have to thank you and am so glad I can add these film to my collection.

I don’t know Herzog’s work that well, any recommends or a place to start would be greatly appreciated.
PS> “Ran” is amazing and I just ordered Pale Flower. Looking forward to watching it.
Oh boy. Where to begin with Herzog??

“Cave” is really interesting.
With a wonderful theme written and played on the zither by a Viennese restaurant musician.
Love this film! Probably one of the more underrated WWII films and a top ten movie for me personally. The story and the way it is told is extremely engaging. I highly recommend the directors cut if you haven’t seen it yet.
Also this film is extremely demanding on speakers and amps. The depth charge sequences in particular really demands the power from the amplifier. While the amount of low end in the scene can be a problem for a lot of speakers easily causing distortion or chuffing. I bring this up because I find it to be a great test for peoples systems and it’s a great excuse to watch Das Boot again.
