IMDb Rating: 7.2/10 Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean is a film adaptation of a stage play, and is unafraid about making that clear right from the start. The action is contained to a single diner, and the film follows a small group of characters who belonged to a James Deanfan club in the 1950s, and reunite in the 1970s for the 20th ...
IMDb Rating: 7.2/10 Few actors gelled with Robert Altman's style as well as Elliott Gould did, so it's unsurprising to see him show up in several great Altman films. California Split is one of them, and here, he also stars with George Segal, and the film follows them as they immerse themselves deeply in the world of gambling, with results that are ...
IMDb Rating: 7.2/10 While it's not quite his highest-rated according to IMDb users,Gosford Parkis arguably Altman's most well-known film (at least for younger audiences). The size of its cast is frankly kind of ridiculous, and it might well feel just as difficult to list who's not in this film as it would be to list who is. It's a unique take on th...
IMDb Rating: 7.4/10 Though its 11-season-long TV spin-off/reworking ultimately bested it in quality, M*A*S*Hdid ultimately exist as a movie a couple of years before it was a TV show. Like the show, the movie also feels fairly episodic, with it essentially being two hours of army doctors and other hospital staff using humor to cope with the tedium a...
IMDb Rating: 7.5/10 Neo-noir movies endure to this day, and have successfully kept the spirit of film noir alive beyond the 1940s and 1950s. Between then and now, Altman played around with the genre by making The Long Goodbye, which mixed dark comedy with a mystery-heavy film noir type of story to great effect. Elliott Gould plays Philip Marlowe, w...
IMDb Rating: 7.5/10 Few movies satirize Hollywood and depict its darker side quite as effectively as The Player. It pokes fun at screenwriting and the behind-the-scenes drama found in Hollywood on a daily basis, following a studio executive whose life spirals out of control after he begins receiving death threats from a writer whose script he rejec...
IMDb Rating: 7.6/10 After making a darkly comedic anti-war movie in 1970, Robert Altman pivoted dramatically and, the very next year, released a revisionist Western. That movie is McCabe & Mrs. Miller, and it follows the unlikely business partnership between a gambler and a prostitute in an Old West town, and the way they work together to combat a ...
IMDb Rating: 7.6/10 Nashvilleis a movie that's so large and sprawling it feels overwhelming at points. It runs for 160 minutes, has more than 20 main characters, and features plenty of subplots and music, with most of the characters being involved in the country music scene in the titular town. Even if it's a movie that sometimes makes you feel lik...
IMDb Rating: 7.7/10 A perplexing film that's hard to break down narratively, 3 Womenis essentially Robert Altman's (mostly successful) attempt to make a psychological drama/mystery movie. It follows two young women who meet through their work and become roommates, only to find that as time goes on, their personalities seem to begin merging. 3 Women...
IMDb Rating: 7.7/10 It's understandable why Short Cutsis Robert Altman's highest-rated movie on IMDb, because it's easy to argue it's the best film of his career. It runs for more than three hours, yet stays consistently entertaining throughout, following a large number of characters who live in Los Angeles and find their lives intersecting in unex...
