Im on a mission to see all of his movies but they are a little tricky to find. The amazing (and crazy) late actor Klaus Kinsky was quite astounding. Mr Herzor was one of the few (if not only) directors to work with Kinsky as his behaviour was quite erratic. I believe Herzog threatened to shoot Kinski when he the actor advised he would quit and walk off-set.
I think therefore I think I am

The only one of Herzog's films that I've seen is Grizzly Man, which documents the activities that led to the death of bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell. One of the things that's interesting about the film is that it consists primarily of Treadwell's own amateur footage, recorded as he lived among the grizzlies in Alaska during the final days of his life. It's a very interesting film. I highly recommend it.
