What movies are these?

Ok, first one is a fairly modern film I think. All I remember is that the main female lead role, likes Nina Simone. She has a poster and she frequently mentions Nina Simone throughout the film.

I think because her dead mother gave her an album or something.

Next one is a film, err I can't really remember what happens apart from at the end where he (the lead role) finally meets this singer (blues maybe) and gets his autograph to finish his dead fathers collection.

POINT OF NO RETURN
1993 - John Badham

Point of No Return (1993), the Americanized re-make of la Femme Nikita, starring Bridget Fonda, Gabriel Byrne, Dermot Mulroney, Anne Bancroft and Harvey Keitel. Not very good, especially in comparison to Luc Besson's original. About the only original thing they added for the re-make was the interest in Nina Simone.




Don't know the other.

it was called the assassin in the uk and i agree anne parillaud is much better

Damn, I usually miss the movies I know.

It's funny, but I avoided this film for a very long time. Mainly because she didn't look intimidating enough, to pull off that part. In my opinion, that is. Ends up, she did OK. It's a decent enough movie.

I have to go with Holden Pike on this one, La Femme Nikita is the one to get. The remake is terrible.
