I'll add to the list a French/American film Directed by Roger Avary (A Tarantino Protégé ) Called "Killing Zoe" from 1994. Great caper film with Eric Stolz and Jean-Hugues Anglade who is absolutely captivating as the Gun Crazed Eric in the film. Not to be missed.

I ordered the film yesterday,can't wait. It was also filmed in parts on Long Island, New York during Hurricane Donna. I remember that storm, I was 6 at the time and living on the Island. Baron also directed alot of TV shows during the 60's thru the early 80's. I hope I receive it soon.

While I agree with the others listed. I'll add Robert Newton (again) as Blackbeard, the Pirate and of course Burt Lancaster as Capt. Vallo (The Crimson Pirate) ;)

I hate to be the bearer of Bad News. But: CBS cancels "Jericho" despite fan fervor. Story here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080324/en_nm/jericho_dc_1

But we keep reality TV.... *sigh
