Joe, if you are still considering your marathon premium, 60s or 60s/70s film music would be a great one. You could include some of these pieces combined with the movie songs from '68 set from a few weeks ago. I'm sure you have more. I would definitely acquire that one.

Oh, no, it's a good movie. But the poker parts are ridiculous. Same with Rounders (not as good but gets some stuff well done, just silly-ass pokers scenes for a movie about poker; never see movies about stuff you know too much about -- or what you do for a living).

Cinn Kid is one of those movies in which they make NO real effort, as I recall, to give a period look to some of the characters, particularly women. Odd.

Heaven's Gate is extraordinarily underrated film. I saw a version of it at Film Forum about 10-11 years ago. I was blown away by its vision. I don't understand where all the hate for it came from. I guess it fit the narrative of pretentious directors running amok.
