Nosferatu: The Vampyre/Phantom Der Nacht

Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2002

Outstanding
Werner Herzog is an artist out of his time....and that's a very good thing for lovers of great films. His own great 1979 film Nosferatu, Phantom Of The Night (Nosferatu, Phantom Der Nacht), which was released in America as Nosferatu, The Vampire, is less a classic ...

Aguirre, the Wrath of God

Klaus Kinski, Helena Rojo

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000

Poetical Fanaticism
This was one of a handful of German films that made one think Western Civilization had a chance. I remember well seeing this for the first time back during my college days. We had all been through the New Wave and had grown a bit weary of the French "A Man and A Woman" ...

Jess Franco's Count Dracula (Special Edition)

Christopher Lee, Herbert Lom

MPI Home Video, 2007

Much better than the television version!
When I initially saw this film many years ago on television, I thought it was schlock. I didn't care for the liberties Franco had taken with Bram Stoker's novel, apparently altering the plot to "improve" it, or the choppy editing and sudden closeups. All in all, I ...

Fitzcarraldo

Klaus Kinski, José Lewgoy

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999

The conquistador of the useless
Along with "Aguirre, The Wrath of God," "Fitzcarraldo" ranks as the best collaboration between Herzog and Kinski. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it comes close to being the best thing that either of them did, Herzog as director and Kinski as actor. In both ...

Doctor Zhivago (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Jose Maria Caffarel, Geraldine Chaplin

Turner Home Ent, 2001

Classic movie epic based on the classic novel
It is easy to see why this is one of the movie classics of 20th century film based on the book by Boris Pasternak of the same name. This drama-romance-war film is set for the most part in early twentieth century Russia and the Russian Revolution and Civil War. The ...

Marquis de Sade's Justine

Mike Brendel, Rosemary Dexter

Blue Underground, 2004

choose the wright one
Be careful not to be fooled by the Anchor Bay version which is marked with 124 min but has only 119 min! Spend some more and buy the Blue Underground version with the total 124 min of total fun. Jack Palance is fantastic!

The Great Silence

Jean-Louis Trintignant, Klaus Kinski

Fantoma, 2004

The Greatest Spaghetti Western ever.
Sergio Corbucci's The Great Silence (Il Grande Silenzio) is his masterpiece. Set in the desolation of Utah during the Great Blizzard of 1899, the 1968 spaghetti western stars Jean-Louis Trintignant (...And God Created Woman; My Night at Maud's; Red (Three Colors ...

The Counterfeit Traitor

William Holden, Lilli Palmer

Paramount, 2004

For spy film lovers....
A thouroughly enjoyable film, based on a true story! Tense and a bit grim.Lots of first rate supporting actors. I really liked this movie. The Big E.

Kinski: My Best Fiend

Isabelle Adjani, Claudia Cardinale

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000

The complexity of genius
Werner Herzog, one of the greatest directors of our time, and Klaus Kinski, one of its greatest actors, collaborated with one another in five films. Both were geniuses, both stubbornly protective of their artistic integrity, and both slightly egomaniac (actually, more ...

Android

Klaus Kinski, Brie Howard

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2004

Much more than human...
Androids... automatons that are created from biological materials and resemble humans...from Fritz Land's 1927 classic Metropolis to Ridley Scott's 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner, the notion of artificial life becoming more human than human has long been an interesting ...

Grand Slam

Janet Leigh, Robert Hoffmann

Blue Underground, 2004

Haunting Moods
Without re-hashing the synopsis of this classic heist thriller shown above, let me say I really loved two things about this DVD: being in Rio De Janeiro in the mid 60's, and the incredible haunting music by Ennio Morricone. His soundtrack is as good or better than any ...

A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe

Rik Battaglia, Mario Brega

Televista, 2007

Seen it
I liked this as much as My Name is Nobody even though its way less arty. Especially funny was the part near the beginning when Hill gets to town and is dumped out of the coach into the dust with his saddle, but he just lays there in the street with the carts and ...
