1.At Play in the Fields of the Lord (2pc) starring: Tom Berenger, John Lithgow, Daryl Hannah, Aidan Quinn, Tom Waits directed by: Hector Babenco January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.89
Where is it? I echo previous reviewers asking why this classic has not been released on DVD. A burnt-out reviewer like Terrence Rafferty (The New Yorker) pans it, but real people who do not live on Manhattan's Upper West Side see virtue in the film. I'm among them and so, happily, is Roger Ebert. Among the many things I like about the film is its portrayal of the wise, patient Catholic priest, who has seen it all yet seems to have retained his faith in a very trying setting and has put his hope where it belongs--in the impenetrable workings of the Holy Spirit. I also respect and admire the passionate relationship (there's no other word for it) between Moon and Wolfie. Both Berenger and Waits are terrific, but I'd argue Waits steals the show. The movie aparently cost ... Read More

2.Ironweed starring: Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Carroll Baker, Michael O'Keefe, Diane Venora directed by: Hector Babenco September 28, 1994

Very interesting movie a bit dark not full of fun and happiness but well acted and I like this movie.

3.Roy Orbison Black & White Night starring: Roy Orbison, Jackson Browne, T-Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang directed by: Tony Mitchell April 10, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.99
September 30, 1987 was one day in history that should be remembered in every history book, taught at every school, and remembered across the country. Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen..... what an awesome lineup! People like Billy Idol even showed up to watch as audience members, what more can you ask for. Maybe the single greatest night in music history.

4.Big Time starring: Tom Waits, Michael L. Blair, Ralph Carney, Greg Cohen, Marc Ribot directed by: Chris Blum August 22, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $28.99
This is out on DVD although very hard to find i got mine from Ebay Germany as i think it was only released there, not sure. The dvd is released by Island Visual Arts. (it says on the cover manufactured and sold and distributed in the UK by Polygram video Ltd) but still impossible to find here. Hope this helps - GOOD LUCK

5.Candy Mountain starring: Kevin J. O'Connor, Harris Yulin, Tom Waits, Bulle Ogier, Roberts Blossom directed by: Robert Frank, Rudy Wurlitzer September 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.50
"Candy Mountain" is a fine film by the great Robert Frank that combines a minor coming of age theme with a road trip in search of the elusive and great hermit builder of the world's best electric guitars. This mythic figure, one Elmore Silk, has moved to rural Cape Breton and disappeared with his fame and guitars, leaving nothing behind him. Kevin O'Connor plays the innocent and affectless loser who takes to the road from NYC, moving steadily north pursuing Elmore Silk and hoping to return to NYC with one of the lengendary guitars. At each stop along the way he seems to lose more and more of his material possessions but keeps moving with a determination that is fueled by the vague hope of somehow bringing back the Holy Grail. And cashing in. Populated ... Read More

6.Down By Law starring: Tom Waits, John Lurie, Roberto Benigni, Nicoletta Braschi, Ellen Barkin directed by: Jim Jarmusch February 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.00
This won a lot of raves when it came out. As usual, not much happens. But you get a lot of profound, elongated moments when meaningful glances are made that seem to add up to more than they appear. They don't, but it's fun to watch a young Tom Waits. Great soundtrack, as usual. Pretty silly, really. Especially the Italian restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Many extras for buffs only, though the phone interview of Tom Waits is funny.

7.Bram Stoker's Dracula starring: Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Richard E. Grant directed by: Francis Ford Coppola August 31, 1999

8.Mystery Men (Spec) starring: Hank Azaria, Ernie Lee Banks, Claire Forlani, Janeane Garofalo, Eddie Izzard May 16, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I think this is one of the most underrated comedies. It's very funny, but the HD fizzles big time. This version is exactly like the DVD. No vivid colors, no pop, just blah. Get the DVD version. Do not buy this HD DVD!

9.Cold Feet starring: Keith Carradine, Sally Kirkland, Tom Waits, Bill Pullman, Rip Torn directed by: Robert Dornhelm April 26, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.60
I'm always trying to find Tom in a movie..just to check him out. The gods will be kind one day when Wait's concert documentary Big Time comes out as a legit DVD. Bizarre that such a visual entertainer has no commercial work on DVD. Anyway, this film Cold Feet, is a romp that seems to start out a bit ruthless, and then turns into a road film. Tom plays an idiot/comic crook who really has his head up his butt.If you're a Waits fan, this film will make you smile as you watch Tom's character try to prove himself as a pro, but shoots himself in the foot all the way. Sally Kirkland shows how flexible her chops are as a sex/food nut, and impresses especially since this is so different than her work in her oscar nominated Anna. This is a breezy film and a gift for Waits fans. The role is bigger than what Tom had in Hecto Begencos' classic ... Read More
