lol...When I saw your list I smiled! I know why we're friends, we have similar tastes...

Have you seen Basquiat, by Julian Schnabel?

Another good one for visuals is Across the Universe.

I remember watching Delicatessen in high school, and loving it! I haven't been able to get my hands on it since... do you have any suggestions? (Amazon? Although I must have tried them...)
