I think it's a flawed film but has some gorgeous images, and Waits stands out in a small part. I'm glad to hear you're on board with Imaginarium and Wristcutters, which were both pleasant surprises for me.

I thought about it, but it's such a quick role that it fell short for me. It's been a while since I've seen Coffee & Cigarettes, and I remember liking that scene. I just couldn't recall it well enough to include it.

Only two come to mind immediately -- his chat with Iggy Pop in Coffee & Cigarettes (best scene in the film) and his small role in The Book of Eli, the only redeeming aspect of that movie. I'll have to check out the other films you suggested.

I think Wristcutters is worth seeing. Even beyond Waits' appearance, it's a fun little movie with an interesting premise.

After seeing him in concert, it's easy to see why he works on screen. He's quite a performer.
