 | In a Year with 13 Moons
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $11.95 perhaps my favorite fassbinder film - it makes you cry, laugh, and think.
|
 | Fassbinder's BRD Trilogy (The Marriage of Maria Braun / Veronika Voss / Lola) - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $71.99 / Used from: $16.95 3 stunning films. Lola is my favorite - a portrait of corruption as hard hitting as Welles' Touch of Evil.
|
 | Satan's Brew
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $18.98 Another of my favorites. This one deserves more attention - it is not a simple comedy.
|
 | The Merchant of Four Seasons
Buy used from: $18.95 This film is a treat - it abounds with subtlety, intelligence, and depth. Every character lives in their own world where there actions are justified unto themselves.
|
 | Ali - Fear Eats the Soul - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $18.99 Ali is a very special film - one of Fassbinder's warmest.
|
 | The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $9.99 This is a highly stylized film - certainly one of the greatest comments on relationships ever made.
|
 | Effi Briest
Buy used from: $44.99 Effi bears traces of some of Rainer's earlier films - but also is forward looking - beautiful to watch.
|
 | Querelle
Buy used from: $17.89 Querelle is a misunderstood film. This is a film, I think, was very personal to its director. If you read Genet before you see it - you will love it.
|
 | Fox and His Friends
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $6.25 This is another biting look at relationships. In a way you will see all of his films are about greed and corruption - falsity
|
 | Pioneers In Ingolstadt
Buy used from: $8.94 Not my favorite - but still a very important film in Fassbinder's development.
|
 | Katzelmacher
Buy used from: $18.95 This I think is Fassbinder's first great film - very original. At times the film with its static Godard like camera work can be hard to watch - but it does get under the skin.
|
 | Martha
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.00 One of Fassbinder's best - he seems to have a pretty good understanding of sadomasochism and self-torture.
|
 | Fear of Fear
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $6.50 Brilliant little film - one wonders who is more ill the protagonist or those around her?
|
 | The American Soldier
Buy used from: $12.48 My favorite early Fassbinder film
|
 | Gods of the Plague
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $15.34 follow up to love is colder than death
|
 | Whity
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $9.76 Great camera work (first collaboration with cinematographor Michael Ballhaus) - not one of his best
|
 | Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $15.99 This is a striking social commentary on a par with Schlondorf's 'Lost Honor of Katharina Blum'
|
 | The Niklashausen Journey
Buy used from: $11.49 I have not seen this either
|
 | Chinese Roulette
Buy used from: $12.95 Short but sweet - this one is very stylish - not everybody's favorite
|
 | Why Does Herr R. Run Amok?
Buy new: $17.99 Another nice early film starring the great Kurt Raab
|
 | The Fassbinder Collection I: Whity/Pioneers in Ingolstadt
Buy used from: $18.46 Box set anyone?
|
 | Love Is Colder Than Death
Buy used from: $32.99 His first feature - a little to close to Godard for my taste - it is still one of the best debut films, however!
|
 | The Stationmaster's Wife
Buy used from: $43.00 Brilliant portrait of a failing relationship
|
 | The Third Generation
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $3.25 this is the movie that really stands out on the list it is a political satire like none other.. in retrospect.. perhaps my favorite fassbinder film..
|
 | Berlin Alexanderplatz - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $101.49 / Used from: $75.99 Finally available on dvd Fassbinder's most monumental achievement as a director.. Berlin Alexanderplatz is, in my opinion, the greatest tv series of all time (although i have not seen every miniseries ever created - this statement adds more dramatic effect lol)...
