The last time I went to Borders, it looked like there was some sort of Herzog/Kinski box set assembled, as well as a set of Herzog's non-Kinski films. They were both out of my price range, unfortunately.

Wener Herzog is a complete mental genius. My Best Fiend (not a typo, it makes sense when you see it) is fantastic. Bump it straight to the top of your list.
Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre: Wrath of God are essential Herzog films. Everyone should see those.
I just got the non-Kinski Herzog boxset the other day (alas the UK box doesn't have Little Dieter Needs to Fly and Lessons of Darkness but was cheap). Looking forward to another clutch of Kinski in the near future.
