05/08/98: Have I missed any?

Posted By: lini


I believe I've seen every John Sayles movie made (personal favorites--Brother from Another Planet, Matewan and Lone Star). However, I'm nervous I may have missed one out there. Here's my list. If anyone knows of other Sayles movies can you let me know?

Brother From Another Planet
Secacaus Seven
Matewan
Eight Men Out
Lone Star
City of Joy (Light? Can't quite remember the title on this one) Passion Fish

I haven't caught his latest yet MEN WITH GUNS. Any reviews?

Also, has anyone else heard the story of Sayles got his idea for Matewan? I heard that when he was a broke young man hitchiking around the country, he was given a ride by a truckdriver who told him the story of the Mining strike. Sayles vowed then to do a movie of the story sometime. Years later, he finally had enough $$ to do it.
