Matthew (Martin Donovan): I like librarians. -from Trust.
Not a definitive guide, but if you have not seen the films of Long Island's own Hal Hartley then you are missing out. Myself, I prefer the early ones; Simple Men (1992), Trust (1990), The Unbelievable Truth (1989). Parker Posey did raise pulses in Fay Grim though... The early films feature crisp, slightly absurd, deadpan delivery dialogue and a good dose of Martin Donovan. There was a rotating stable of actors; Robert Burke, Bill Sage, Elina Löwensohn and Adrienne Shelly. Great music in these flicks too. Lots of original music (read director plinking/noodling), and it was the first time I heard of Yo La Tengo.
