- The White Diamond
-
- Werner Herzog
- "Acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog follows enigmatic airship engineer Dr. Graham Dorrington as he embarks on a trip in the heart of Guyana to test his new helium-filled invention above the rainforest. Dubbed the 'white diamond' on account of its unique teardrop shape, the expedition begins with some early mishaps but is soon airborne high above the treetops. With every success though, Dorrington is haunted by a similar expedition twelve years ago that killed his friend as they were testing an airship much like the 'white diamond.' Herzog magnificently captures Dorrington's struggles to atone for what he calls 'a stupid, meaningless accident' while at the same time presenting stunning never-before-seen images of the true beauty of nature."

- The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
-
- Werner Herzog
- "In 1828, as if out of nowhere, a young man appeared in Nuremberg's town square. He had no history, spoke only a few words, and could not stand upright. Having been locked in a basement for 17 years, Kaspar Hauser was more beast than man.
Who was he and where did he come from?
Despite attempts by townsfolk to understand and civilize him, Kasper became little more than a sideshow attraction. And though the mystery of his origins remained unanswered, perhaps the biggest question of all was, why did someone want him dead?
Based on a true story, Werner Herzog's poignant, often funny, and unforgettable tale of "the enigma of the century"-punctuated by a brilliant performance by Bruno S.-will haunt viewers forever."<br> -
