Anything either action- or plot-driven would be fine. I don't think I'd trust him with most of the "great literary works". And the Bible just wouldn't be the same without Charlton Heston!! I hope that lots of people have seen The Frighteners, starring Michael J. Fox - that's an excellent flick. Heavenly Creatures is supposed to be absolutely brilliant, I'm sorry to say I haven't seen it.<P>Anything with a supernatural or unusual feel to it would be really well done by PJ. He has lots of great camera techniques for thriller type movies, and he's a wiz with special effects. There's an... interesting short story by Scottish writer Irvine Welsh (of Trainspotting fame) about a bunch of juvenile delinquent aliens taking over a town in Scotland, assisted by one of its former residents. I'd love for PJ to do that. Can't remember what it's called, sorry.
