I saw it twice at the theater. It's been eons since I've gone back for a repeat viewing of a film. I'm sure I'll rent it and watch it again soon. There's also an okay (but not great) concert video of the artists who performed the music entitled "Down from the Mountain". Worth seeing, eventhough it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.Another film that has recently made it to video you might like is "Songcatcher". It's about a music professor during the early 1900's who documents the folk music of the North Carolina backwoods. The plot is hillbilly melodrama but interesting, and it's worth seeing for the music even if the story doesn't grab you.

Hi,
the dvd also has the music video 'Man of Constant Sorrow'. I will look for Songcatcher'btw, this is almost too obvious to mention,,,,but have you seen The Buena Vista Social Club? The dvd is cheap, and I liked it a lot, it's some mighty fine pickin' n a singin' from some old Cubano club performers.
Yep, I've seen "Buena Vista Social Club". Very nice. I especially liked the pianist(Gonzales?). That guy that played the laud and the bassist were also impressive musicians.
