Little Dieter Needs to Fly (1997) - Werner Herzog

One of his non-fiction films this is a deceptively simple film from Herzog about a German immigrant who became a POW in Vietnam. The film focuses on the psychological impact it had upon him, and the title character even goes back to Vietnam with Herzog to retrace his occupation. Great filmmaking from Herzog, who doesn't seem to be afraid of ANYTHING when it comes to make a movie.
