Mark, Thats a great film clip of the streets of London! I wanted to ask if anyone has a cap from Al's Attire located on Grant Ave in North Beach SF? I stopped in and it looks like they make a great custom cap with leather sweat and a nice selection of fabrics to choose from. Would be worth...

Heres my recently acquired Palco!

So many greats come to mind but this one from the french film" Girl on the Bridge" has resonated with me recently. Also the Marianne Faithful / Angelo Badalamenti song is incredible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxCSQY4zskg&feature=fvw
