My first summer living in Chicago in an apartment without AC, I was blessed to be a few blocks away from the Music Box, which is our great vintage rep theater. I could see a matinee or two for a couple bucks (1980s dollars) and stay cool. Didn't much care what the film was some days.
But that is the reason I was on the Steve Buscemi bandwagon early, because that was the summer that "Parting Glances" was at the Music Box and I fell in love with him. Which has continued to this day.
