Enjoyed, thanks. I have McCabe/Miller 4k, totally love it, great rec. Also have Nashville, but I chose the Paramount version because it has a superior scan vs the Criterion. Criterion used a 2k scan from an inter-positive film in 2013, while Paramount 8 yrs. later upgraded with a 4k scan from the original film elements. But then the Criterion has the better supplements. Either way the film is absolutely outstanding, and maybe Criterion will up the ante with a native 4k disc. I want Bound 4k badly but Amazon has yet to drop price to match Barnes and Noble, and Barnes and Noble sold out online, nearest store too far, will wait it out:)
