Billy Bob Thorton honors Gary Hogue

[Charlie Vaughn]

I just got back from Blockbuster trying to find this movie. I was told there was no such title "Daddy and Them" listed in Billy Bob Thorton's credits. Did I get the title wrong? Can anyone shed some light on the title of this movie? I would love to check it out. What about it Bobbe.

Charlie - you've got the name correct.
Here's the overview I just pulled up:
(however,nothing listed here re: music credits)

Cable Premiere: TBA 2003 (Showtime) (this was actually Billly Bob Thornton's second film as director, before All the Pretty Horses, after Sling Blade; originally scheduled for 1999, but now it's going direct to cable, and then video, skipping theaters except for a very brief test run)

Welcome to America's Hearthland, home of hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves... and Claude and Ruby. Never has a couple here been so madly in love, or so often at odds. When Claude's Uncle Hazel has been arrested, they head to Little Rock to lend their support. As the family reunites, it's clear that, with this bunch, anything goes and everyone speaks their mind - a tasty mix of ambrosia salad, armed robbery, sex talk, head-on collisions and a Macarena monkey.
Release Date: TBD.
MPAA Rating: R for strong language.
Distributor: Miramax Films

Starring: Andy Griffith, Billy Bob Thornton, Diane Ladd, Kelly Preston, Laura Dern

Thank you Donna for the info. I have tried several video vendors (Amazon.com, Blockbuster Video, etc.) and none of them have this movie listed. The clerk at Blockbuster told me that some TV movies are never released on DVD or VHS. This may be the case here. Maybe I can catch in on Showtime, they have shown it before.
