The Werner Herzog Collection is a must buy for me, the rest is totally irrelevant to me.

What films are in the collection? I haven't seen any Herzog...would this box-set be a good place to start? (for renting, not buying...haven't made that much this summer ;))

These are the films in the collection:

 

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser

Even Dwarfs Started Small

Lessons of Darkness

Fata Morgana

Heart of Glass

Little Dieter Needs to Fly

Stroszek

 

As for whether this is a good place to start, I don't really know as I've only seen Heart of Glass. I love Heart of Glass, but it's not a good place to start as it's so stylistically extreme (all but one of the actors perform under hypnosis). There is, however, another boxset called the Herzog/Kinski collection which is I would consider a good place to start, specifically since it contains the films Aguirre - Wrath of God (one of my favourite films) and Fitzcarraldo, which are the two films I would recommend the most to Herzog beginners, as they're highly representative of his style of filmmaking but more accessible than, say, Heart of Glass.
