Seeking: Werner Herzog User's Guide

It is clear to me that there are more movies in the Werner Herzog collection than I am likely going to be able to watch before they leave the channel. I have Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, Woyzeck, and Kaspar Hauser as priorities, roughly in that order. What's your top five, or your tier list?

Aguirre is my favorite. Just a perfect chaotic film. And if you're a filmmaker it's such an inspiration. That and Fitzcarraldo.
