I checked the list of movies he was cinematographer for and of that list "Paper Moon" would be the one I wouldn't mind putting in my Netflix queue.

I've never seen 1974's "Freebie and the Bean" but remember it being mentioned somewhere. Sounds like one of the those movies that was popular then but forgotten now. Might be worth a looksie...
