I've also seen the more recent "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" with Chevy Chase.
One detail that i enjoyed the inclusion of in "Memoirs", was that of him eating. They did a nice job of pointing out that his food would remain visible until it's absorbed enough to become part of him, and thus, invisible as well. I love it when movies try to answer the little detail questions. Too often they just overlook all of the "necessities" of everyday life, particularly eating and going to the restroom. I'd just love to see Riker telling Picard that the away mission will have to wait for a few minutes because he just *has* to visit the latrine. They don't snack either. It would be pretty neat to see Worf standing at his station munching on some Cheetos. Hey, wasn't I talking about invisibility? I thought the idea in "Mystery Men" of an invisible boy who could only be invisible when no one, not even himself, was watching was a nice idea as well.
