Oh, good. I KNEW Fassbinder wasn't right for Aguirre, but I had gone blank about the real director. Have you seen "Fitzcarraldo" and the movie about the making of Fitzcarraldo? Amazing, what Herzog went through to get that film made. And what a fascinating story -- allegedly true -- guy decides to build an opera house in the middle of the rain forest. Lots of opportunity to discuss the nature of folly in *that* one!

"Truly, Madly, Deeply" is one of my favorite romantic movies. Just like men, movies don't have to be perfect all the way through, all the time.
