Aguirre: the Wrath of God (Werner Herzog, 1972) vs. Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979)
What is perhaps Coppola's masterpiece against a similarly difficultly filmed jungle epic that was a major influence on Coppola while he filmed Apocalypse Now. I think I have to go with Aguirre by an ever so slight margin; they're literally two spaces away from each other in my top 100.
