Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Starring Klaus Kinski and directed by Werner Herzog, this legendary piece of cinema follows a group of conquistadors on a failed expedition for a lost city. Roger Ebert called the film "one of the great haunting visions of cinema." Herzog insisted upon filming on location, which caused a number of hardships for the cast and crew but his decision resulted in an undeniable verisimilitude.
The Night of the Hunter
Reverend Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) is a religious fanatic and serial killer in Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter. A horror movie that boasts the qualities of a Grimm fairytale, Robert Mitchum's electrifying performance earned this movie the attention that it rightfully deserved. The Night of the Hunter is one of Laughton's only movies in which he did not act.
