I almost worked as an extra on "Double Jeopardy" with Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd. I would have been in the crowd scene as Ashley's character was running through the rainy French Quarter in New Orleans. I think it would have been cool, but work comes first.
Sally Field's mini-series "A Woman of Independent Means" was filmed here in Galveston, as was "Breast Men" with Friends star David Schwimmer. Patty Duke did a great made-for-TV movie that opened with a ferry ride from Galveston to Bolivar Peninsula and was filmed entirely on location at the two homes that still stand at the base of the Bolivar Lighthouse.
I was trying to find out what movie was currently being filmed with Gary Cole in New Orleans, but imdb.com doesn't have it listed yet. But since imdb.com is mostly fan-entered information, it's not always up to date.
Aha! Found it!

TWO ABC FAMILY ORIGINAL MOVIES START PRODUCTION
'CRIMES OF FASHION' AND 'POP ROCKS!'
Gary Cole and Sherilyn Fenn Star in "Pop Rocks!" Shooting In New Orleans....
On May 3, principal photography will begin for the original movie POP ROCKS! starring Gary Cole ("Office Space,” “Win a Date With Tad Hamilton,” “The Brady Bunch Movie”) and Sherilyn Fenn ("Twin Peaks," "Rude Awakening"). The original movie is set to premiere in September 2004.....
POP ROCKS! focuses on Jerry Harden (Gary Cole), a respectable banker and family man in his 40’s, who is about to be haunted by his deepest, darkest secret…he was the lead singer of the biggest heavy metal band of the 80’s, Rock Toxin. At the height of their success, Jerry fell in love with Allison (Sherilyn Fenn) and sharply cut his ties to the band without looking back. Now Jerry is offered the chance to reunite with the band for one final concert and a substantial paycheck that would allow him to send his son to a private school so he'll stop hanging out with his bad influence, "garage band friends." Jerry convinces himself he can rehearse and perform the concert without ever revealing his former identity to his family and friends. Let the deception begin.
Directed by Ron Lagomarsino ("The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire") and teleplay by William Ryan and Dan Berendsen. Patricia Clifford ("The Elizabeth Smart Story") serves as executive producer with Jackie George ("Full Court Miracle") as producer.
Of interest also, is another film of his -- "Mozart & The Whale."
A dramatic, romantic comedy inspired by the lives of two people with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, whose emotional dysfunctions threaten to sabotage their budding romance. Screenplay by Academy-Award winner, Ron Bass; Directed by award-winning director Petter Naess.
