Best Altman Film

Yes, I recommed you watch "M.A.S.H.", and then watch "Short Cuts" again, because those are really his only two decent films. The truth is that Robert Altman is one of the most overrated directors of all-time. All of his film are complete borefests, and his swan song, A Prairie Home Companion, was one of his worst. I'm sure the Academy will make a big stink about his passing away at tomorrow's Oscars. I won't miss Altman much.

I really dug 'short cuts', but there are still alot of his films that I haven't seen. Any reccomendations for me?
Bob Altman used to say that he loved every each of his films, good or bad, even the ones that he was very unhappy to make, like
Pret-A-Porter
or
The Gingerbread Man
. But it looks like he was particularly proud of
Short Cuts
, of course and many of his lesser-known films. Indeed two of his personal favorites were:
Tanner '88
Secret Honor
as the most creative works he had ever done.
and I agree with him. He was also quite fond of
Cookie's Fortune
with which he said he attained something that he always wanted attain; a "spherical" film. It's a very very charming film for sure, also his very last one,
A Prairie Home Companion
a very very beautiful film.
A film totally forgotten but great one
Health
. I don't know where you can find it, though.
3 Women
is a masterpiece. -

My favourites are
McCabe & Mrs. Miller
and
Nashville
. Conventional choices but those two are the ones that made the biggest impact on me. The former is beyond breathtaking and the latterwell it starts out as a comedy and ends with tragedy and horror but it's filled with such warmth, wit and love that you actually get the sense of being in 1975. And as that advertisement that starts the film says, "24count'em 24 of the biggest stars in the world"
I also love
Brewster McCloud
,
Images
(which is so unfairly neglected),
3 Women
,
The Long Goodbye
,
California Split
all his 70's films though I haven't seen
Buffallo Bill
,
Quintet
and
A Perfect Couple
. Then
Secret Honor
,
Short Cuts
,
Gosford Park
and others.
A film totally forgotten but great oneHealth. I don't know where you can find it, though.
I want to see that one a lot. Maybe I'll catch it a revival next time I go to the US.

McCabe and Mrs Miller is my favorite. That film is just a work of art. Nashville is a masterpiece and 3 Women fascinates me.
