American Gigolo is my second favourite Schrader flick. It's fab.

Is Mishima number 1 ?

I contemplated importing this time and time again but never did.

Seriously underrated film. Hate the cover but no matter - it will be in my collection. The film is the definition of cool.

Can't wait to get that amazing soundtrack pumping on my HT.

Watched this again last night. Not a bad transfer, but it really deserves a new scan and a UHD. It's such a gorgeous looking film, it really deserves better treatment.

Schrader is one of my favourite directors. This is one of his best works. Per earlier post in thread, was hoping we might have at least of heard something about a new release (preferably on 4K UHD) by now.

Don't think the film quite gets its due for how important it is from a stylistic perspective for certain strands of '80s cinema and beyond.
