If you loved The NeverEnding Story, try Fitzcarraldo
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Fitzcarraldo has roughly 5.0× fewer votes than The NeverEnding Story — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The NeverEnding Story, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Fitzcarraldo is
Aguirre without madness. An opera-obsessed colonialist schemes to harvest rubber by hauling a steamship over a small mountain. Kinski's thousand-yard stare sells the mad dream.
