American Splendor (2003, R)
I just love this movie! Paul Giamatti is a gem, as always. True story, dark comedy, alternative romance, all in one! |

Citizen X (1998, R)
Absolutely fascinating. Stephen Rea is riveting. Great rapport between him and Donald Sutherland and a little humor, too. |

Cleopatra (1963, Unrated)
Okay, so it's not really accurate. Liz never looked better. AND she designed her own makeup. The romance between her and Dick is astonishing, although the best part of the movie is really before Rex Harrison dies. |

Pandaemonium (2001, PG-13)
Another film that's not terribly accurate but does represent the fervor of the 18th century poets, the rock stars of their time. And I love Linus Roache. |

Topsy-Turvy (1999, R)
totally fun costume drama - and who knew these folks could sing so beautifully! Specially love when Kevin McKidd is expressing his displeasure at having to appear onstage in a kimono, considering it "obscene." |
