I read that when he was a teenager he liked Superfly and Csr Wash. He seems to like alot of old movies I think too like Carmen Jones.

"Last Tango In Paris" ..I remember seeing a picture of him from the "Dirty Mind" era in a room (in his house and he had that poster hanging up.) I'm sure that flick inspired him musically and sexually.

"Showgirls" ..I read that he rented a whole theatre out once for private viewing for him and his band.

"Wall Street" - Charlie Sheen flick..said the music industry was very much like this movie.

"La Dolce Vita"

I also read he went thru a phase of watching Marilyn Monroe flicks back in the early 80's.

Not to mention Prince undoubtedly compares himself to Michael Corleone.

"What dreams Become"

he wrote to Robin Williams to say how much he enjoyed it.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

confused "What Dreams may come" guess you haven't seen it; its one of the most excellent depictions of the Spirit world that eye have seen on film for the uninitiated, its a great view of a typical day in spookieville cool
