I didn't really like Little Dieter. Herzog's best films were made in the early part of his career (back in the 1970's), and he's gotten a lot weaker with age.

Herzog's masterpiece is Aguirre: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068182/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068182/ It is head and shoulders above anything else he's ever made. Fitzcarraldo and Nosferatu are also good: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083946/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083946/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079641/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079641/ The rest of his films range from awful to meh.
