There is definitely something about his voice! Hypnotic, like you said. Somehow soothing and stilted, unintentionally quirky… Once you’ve heard it, you can’t unhear it. It is a feast for the ears! I love it.

Into the Inferno! That's one of my favourite movies ever.

The North Korea stuff in there is a wild touch

I love Werner Herzog’s work! Especially “The Enigma of Caspar Hauser” and “Fitzcarraldo.” His documentary of the girl who fell out of a airplane into the Peruvian jungle is awesome as well. Most of his movies are as fascinating to watch on DVD with the “Director’s commentary” soundtrack turned on as they are with the “normal” soundtrack. His voice is almost hypnotic.
