i think its a testament to his talent that not only can he make astounding narrative fictional movies, he is also a fantastic documentary maker which not alot of filmmakers succeed with this transition, look at michael moore for instance, first and foremost a documentry maker, his only narrative film has been Canadian Bacon and if i remember rightly it kinda flopped.
I think Herzog is the sort of geek kid at school, he's the outsider and has an unbelievable talent that only a certain group of people know about. Give this man an honorary Oscar
