Re: Aguirre. I just thought it was the most boring film ever (and I enjoy 'artsy' movies, so it's not just philistinism). For those who don't know, it's about a group of conquistadors who get trapped in the Amazon jungle and have to take a raft back down the Amazon. I thought they captured the boredom of being stuck on a raft for weeks and communicated it to the audience very well.
