The death of Michael Cimino led me to the Heaven's Gate page. The image for that work page is black and white and has poor resolution. Say what you will about that movie, absolutely everybody has agreed since it was released that it had exceptionally gorgeous color cinematography. I suggest that we replace the image on that page with a color still from the film that gives a better idea of what the movie actually looks like.

I have to upload images to TV Tropes before suggesting them, is that correct?

Here's one with star Kris Kristofferson, I think I've seen this in more than one article

I see several more from a simple google search for "Heaven's Gate film", is it OK to upload them?

Not necessarily. You can also provide URLs, so long as other people can assess those suggestions.

I prefer the current over that suggestion, as it's a bit livelier despite being in black and white.

So do we need more input?

Yeah, we don't have clear consensus on anything yet.

I can go with 6.2.

It'll be a week tomorrow and the votes haven't changed, so I'm calling this one. The new pic's up and tagged; caption?
