- 'Until the End of the World' (1991) Starring: William Hurt, Solveig Dommartin, Sam Neill. Wim Wenders made a large-scale and ambitious road movie with Kings of the Road, but that one pales in comparison - when it comes to scope and ambition - to 1991’s Until the End of the World.
- 'Perfect Days' (2023) Starring: Koji Yakusho, Tokio Emoto, Arisa Nakano. As mentioned before, Wim Wenders has remained active as a filmmaker into the 2020s, with Perfect Days arguably being up there with some of the best releases of the decade so far.
- 'Paris, Texas' (1984) Starring: Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski, Dean Stockwell. Another slow-paced yet absorbing movie about travel (perhaps enough to be labeled as another Wim Wenders road movie), Paris, Texas is one of the most beloved films by the director (and a favorite of director Akira Kurosawa).
- 'Wings of Desire' (1987) Starring: Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Otto Sander. Wings of Desire is a fantastic fantasy film, and also one that has a good deal of bittersweet romance throughout.
