The Incident is a relatively good film - Matthau plays his usual shabby-grizzly-comes-good-in-the-end type; PF is nicely understated as the POW but doesn't get to develop his character much.

I've watched a bit of Dorian Gray but need to go back to it - I, too, was put off by the dated BBC production but I need to get over that and watch the boy do his thing.

Other good stuff of PF's worth looking out for if you're interested (IMHO):

:)his ep of Highlander - he plays a wonderful baddie (available on the net but I can't post the link)
Prisoner of Rio (PF's very good in it, as is Paul Freeman as Ronnie Biggs...Stephen Berkoff is surprisingly awful!). A nice scene with PF in very skimpy Speedos...
The Pleasure Principle - quite hard to get hold of and I think only available on video (unless anyone else knows otherwise??)...but PF plays a terrific character. Gets his kit off a lot, too.
And I know it's an absolutely dreadful film...totally cringe-worthy, in fact...but PF's really good in "Lifeforce" - he plays it straight while everyone around him is hamming it up. He looks fab in it, too.
Of course, Chill Factor is a must - the director should have been shot for getting all of the actors to overact horribly...but PF in black combat gear running around waving guns is worth putting up with an hysterical Cuba Gooding! And the ice cream scene. Well, just watch it.

I managed to download "Red Ryder" and "Dominick Hyde" but haven't watched them yet. I also got hold of two out of three of his "Total Recall 2070" eps - the series is dreadful and PF's character is pretty one dimensional but he does the best he can with it.

What I really, really want to get hold of is "That's Life" - can't find it anywhere. If anyone's come across it, do tell!!
