filmmaker. 

  1973   Wenders, Wim                   ALICE IN THE CITIES     110 MINUTES 
This one is real nice, lots of trains and a cute little girl, I think
looking for her grandmother.

very long epic about some guys who drive around fixing film projectors. 

  1977   Wenders, Wim                   THE AMERICAN FRIEND        123 MINUTES 
A classic. Has Dennis Hopper. A little slow at times, about some guy hired
as an assasin. 

  1980   Wenders, Wim                   LIGHTNING OVER WATER
Documenatary on Nicholas Ray right before he died. 

  1982   Wenders, Wim                   THE STATE OF THINGS
about the making of a cheap sci-fi film that  falls apart because the 
producer runs out of money. A lo budget one that Wim shot during a break 
from the shooting of Hammett, which got held up by Coppola's (the producer)
bankruptcy. Sort of a real story in that respect. 
 
  1982   Wenders, Wim                   HAMMETT
About the classic San Francisco detective. 
 
  1985   Wenders, Wim                   TOKYO-GA
Doc on Tokyo. Great. Cameos by Werner Herzog. 

I think a bunch of these are out on video in the us on Pacific Arts video. `
