So many wonderful films!

A still from the first Altman film I ever saw: McCabe & Mrs Miller. (& incidentally, one of the first "R" rating films shown in Oz.):

I loved it! Moody, haunting, meandering & beautiful to the eye. And Leonard's melancholy music, too!
It remains a favourite to this day.

Ah yes! Brewster McCloud...still one of my favorite films of all time.

Wonder how Bud Cort is doing these days...

No other Altman fans out there? This surprises me.

There's an earlier thread somewhere.

Just saw "A Prairie Home Companion" the other day.
