I'd start a poll, but there are just too damned many good ones. What's your favorite Robert Altman flick?

4. Hands down, Nashville.
I see something new in it every time I watch it. And the soundtrack is pretty good too.

3. The Player. But I loved Gosford Park.
I'm a huge Brideshead Revisited fan, so I love the period. M*A*S*H was fun, but the pot-smoking scene ruined it for me (way too anachronistic). I've never seen Nashville, but I'd love to.

11. God damned Army!.........God damned Army Jeep!...........
"He's whatch might call the best equipped dentist in the United States Army!" An absolute great movie. I watched very little of the TV show, because it could never approach the original.

6. Yeah, I think the Player was his best film...
Cookie's Fortune was a good one. I like most of his stuff. But, dude... OC and Stiggs. :7 .... or lest we forget. Popeye. oooof.

8. "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" and "The Player"...
One very poetic, the other a ton of fun. :toast:

I love that movie. Can't wait for the DVD. Gosford Park was surprisingly enjoyable as well.

15. Nashville, but he has made so many great films!
"The Player" was terrific, too.

17. "Nashville", "McCabe & Mrs Miller", "Secret Honor" are three of...
the best films ever made. "The Player", "Streamers", "Vincent and Theo" are three of the worst films ever made

I can even sing many of the songs. Not that you'd want me to. The actors wrote their own songs. Karen Black is hysterically funny. And Ronee Blakely as Loretta Lynn you have to see. Shelley DuVall. Jeff Goldblum. Keith Carradine. Lily Tomlin. Ned Beatty. Elliott Gould. Julie Christie. And a striptease by Gwen Welles. Whatever happened to her? She was in some very decent '70's movies.

20. Let's not forget "Cookie's Fortune"
Glenn Close and Julianne Moore were both brilliant in that film!
