I've seen all of them except `Slacker', and `The Newton Boys' which in this
country is a bit difficult to get ahold of. I loved his early stuff but I
felt Slacker's obvious genesis as a stage play detracted from it a bit. It
was difficult to fault the mastery of his direction; I just thought the
material wasn't up to scratch. The Newton Boys I haven't seen yet though
I've heard it's somewhat of a noble failure.
Hey, you know the guy who played the main character in Dazed & Confused?
He's got this incredible webpage I once visited full of his way out
writings ... I'll have to dig up the URL and send it to you. Have you ever
seen a movie called `The Clock', starring Judy Garland and Robert Taylor? I
only ask because `Before Sunrise' was semi-based on its premise and I
really enjoyed it as it has a real `Catcher' flavour to it (they even visit
the Museum together!) If it comes on TV or whatever I highly reccommend it.
