Werner Herzog Eats his Shoe (Les Blank, 1980, 20mins, 16mm)

Werner Herzog eats his shoe concerns a bet Herzog made in which he told Errol Morris that if Morris ever completed his film Gates of Heaven (1979) then he would eat his shoes. As he eats his shoe he gives a sort of press conference. It's an inspiring film for filmmakers and an interesting and unpretentious look into a brilliant mind.
