It's funny that you mentioned Hal Hartley, because he's on my list as well. I just watched "Henry Fool" and "Fay Grim" in the last couple of weeks, and they rank among my top favorites currently. I believe Hartley's working on the indie-comedy equivalent of the "Star Wars" trilogy. I could take or leave Jarmusch, though. I loved "Coffee and Cigarettes" but, as I've stated elsewhere, I just don't get "Dead Man" and I don't think I ever will.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates Terry Jones' work. Fun stuff indeed. "Erik the Viking" anyone?
