      My favorite Cassavettes movie is actually "Minnie And Moskowitz", and it's NOT in the boxed set. It's from 1971, right before they did "Woman Under The Influence". It's with Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassell, and Timothy Carey (in a small part) and Val Avery. I think that's a good first Cassavettes movie to start with. The acting is incredible in all of them, but his films are not for everyone.

      The film Le Samourai with actor Alain Delon was similar to Ghost Dog and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jim Jarmusch was inspired by Le Samourai.
      Another Jim Jarmusch film to check out is The Limits Of Control with Isaac De Bankole, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton(and a few other actors who really gave a great performance).

    One thing I can say for Winona more than other young actresses nowadays is she really knows her film history and has very good taste in cinema and has respect for the art. Even when she was a young actress in her 20's in the 1990's she seemed to have good taste and work with the top directors on more sophisticated projects than most and many period pieces.
    She also is a big rock music fan and has very good taste in that area as well from interviews I have seen with her. I enjoy the episodes where people have respect for the Criterion Closet.
