I certainly am with you on Bill Hicks. I would be so estatic if something of his was released on DVD, partially because I would want to own it and partially because it would somehow help immortalize a great comic I fear will be otherwise forgotten.

Two more to add to my list of 16 or so...

A little Romance - http://us.imdb.com/Title?0079477
