See Shadows of Our Ancestors if you're curious about Paradjanov but don't want to potentially get put off by his more abstract stuff. If you do want to see that kind of stuff though, The Colour of Pomegranates is, IMHO, one of the greatest pieces of art that the 20th Century has produced.
Fassbinder is an incredible filmmaker, don't get me wrong. One of my faves actually.
Sorry, I can get a bit carried away when I think about stuff like this.
