The IMDB boards are alive with folks seeing the movie for the first time in honor of Heath.  I am humbled by some of the responses/comments:

I watched it for the first time last night. I was a fan from his other movies but had not yet seen this one. I was overwhelmed by how powerful it was. He (and the others as well) just disappeared in to the character. It was so brave of him to take this role, with the subject matter and the graphic scenes. I cried watching "10 Things I Hate About You" the night before, but not during BBM. I was too riveted to be sad. I was IN the story, until it was over. I see now what all the raving was about. This was an absolutely amazing film, and a flawless performance. Looking back though, the saddest thing for me was the scene at the end with his daughter. There he was, 40-some years old, and his grown daughter had come to tell him she was getting married. I can't believe he won't ever get the joy of this happening in his real life. It is so unfair.

Thanks for bringing this here Eric. 

It's nice to know that new folks are discovering Heath and Brokeback through all of this.  And that new folks will continue to discover Heath this way. These films, and Brokeback in particular, really are his legacy (aside for his daughter of course).  With things like this it really just makes clear to me how long Heath will live on through his brilliant work.
