	Angela (1995)
Sad story, beautifully shot. Look for guest appearance by Vincent Gallo.
	Heavy (1995)
Townies versus outsiders, "you think you're better than us?" attitude, but everyone survives their own way.
	The Sweet Hereafter (1997)
Angst, failure, insight, and loss--conveys the cold, lonely north near Canada.
	Buffalo '66 (1998)
One of the best--the accents, the weather, the light all take front seat to the backdrop of downtown Buffalo.
	Jump Tomorrow (2001)
Well, definitely not a ringer for story or acting, upstate NY acts as a third character--who puts watertowers in a backdrop??
