Delia Sparrow kindly invited me to submit ten Klaus Kinski films for a Film Jukebox on the Electric Sheep website. You can see which ten films I picked here:

With just a week to go until the 20th anniversary of Klaus’ death, I’m hoping that you will all submit your lists of favourite KK films to Du dumme Sau! to share – so get thinking about it and send them in when you’re ready. I like hearing from you!

I love films (anything from exploitation stuff to stylish Eastern European cinema, but I'm not really into blockbusters and modern Hollywood), music (Serge Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin, Michel Polnareff, Left Banke, Francoise Hardy, The Seeds, Love, The Zombies, etc) and books (Kurt Vonnegut, Julian Maclaren-Ross, Michel Houellebecq, Patrick Hamilton, Alan Sillitoe, and more). I take photographs with my Lomography Diana F plus or my Olympus Trip and like making stuff in my spare time.
most of klaus films are pure crap, as we all know. nearly all of the them, to be honest. the only ones with at least a minor intellectual and/or artistic value are the 4 herzog movies and leones dollar movie = 5 out of 137 motion pictures, the rest would be completely forgettable without kinski. These crappy films are trash, but can nevertheless be wonderful for a kinski-fan, because of his personal performance or maybe even only because of his outfit.
my 15 favs are, without any order:
– La peau de Torpedo
– Zoo Zero
– Das Netz
– Android
– Hanussen
– Operation Thunderbolt
– Kinder, Mütter und ein General
– Der rote Rausch
– L’Occhio del Ragno
– La legge dei Gangsters
– Die Kurve
– Das Verrätertor
– Nuit d’Or
– Il grande SIlencio
That’s so true, Konrad – for me, it’s Klaus, his outfits, and how many times (and for how long) he puts his hands in his pockets!!! It was so difficult to pick 10 films – I really wanted Venom in my list, just because of the fight with the rubber snake – now that was AMAZING – but Venom had to go when I was shortlisting… I’ve only seen 6 of the films you name – I need to find several of those with English subs, but it’s only a matter of time I guess. Incidentally, is it really just 137 films? Thanks for participating, Konrad, and I hope that other people will join in and post their favourites here as a little tribute to Klaus 20 years on
