I just put my four favorite (so far) songs by Nick Drake and an incredibly beautiful documentary about him in my "Now Playing" thread, starts here.

New Heath movie announced:
Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054606/
The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus is set in the present day, and tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show - where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. The script is written by Gilliam with Charles McKeown, who both wrote the script to The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
Here's the cast, four of whom have worked in Gilliam pictures before. There's much to look forward to, including the prospect of Tom Waits as the devil incarnate. Christopher Plummer is the eponymous doc, and inventive Heath Ledger returns to work with Gilliam following his work on Brothers Grimm.

The Counterfeit Rockefeller
Postscript November 2007
In January 2001, special correspondent Bryan Burrough unearthed the extraordinary life story of a dashing young French con man named Christopher Rocancourt, who, masquerading as millionaire playboy "Christopher Rockefeller," fleeced dozens of gullible Americans from the Hamptons to Beverly Hills ("The Counterfeit Rockefeller"). The son of a prostitute and an alcoholic father who froze to death after a wintry drinking bout, Rocancourt had risen from a Normandy orphanage to the streets of Paris, to Rodeo Drive, where he rubbed elbows with the likes of Mickey Rourke and Jean Claude Van Damme. In a memorable side trip to the mansions of eastern Long Island, he succeeded in enticing any number of people to "invest" with him. Needless to say, no one ever saw their money again.
Facing criminal charges in New York, Rocancourt fled to British Columbia, where he was arrested in April 2001. From jail he gave interviews to outlets as varied as 60 Minutes and The New Yorker and became a celebrity in his native France. Before his extradition to the U.S., in 2003, he wrote a book, I, Christopher Rocancourt: Orphan, Playboy, Prisoner, that became a French best-seller. Rocancourt pleaded guilty to fraud charges and served part of a four-year sentence in the federal prison at Allenwood, Pennsylvania, before being placed on a plane back to France in early 2006.
In Paris, Rocancourt received the full star treatment, waving to paparazzi at the airport, selling interviews to the French media, even striking a deal to place his name on a clothing line. His celebrity has proved surprisingly enduring; the French, more than one commentator notes, never tire of hearing a countryman's stories of outwitting rich Americans. Rocancourt's second memoir, My Lives, topped the French best-seller list last year; a third book followed. Today he lives in Paris with a former Miss France and their infant daughter. He has a Web site, christopherocancourt.net, and a press agent. A movie of his life is now in the works, with Edward Norton and Heath Ledger rumored to be in the running to play Rocancourt.
Artiste:
