RIP Robert Altman



Robert Altman was a man's man's director. He gave us great films from The Long Goodbye to Popeye and so many in between. Known for his lengthy films with scores of characters whose dialogue was stacked on top of one another it is safe to say there will never be another like him. Keep trying anyway Paul Thomas Anderson. Even though Altman is know for the large casts and overlapping verbiage, the films where none of that exist are pretty special too.

Here's a special top ten Robert Altman Films list.

The Long Goodbye
MASH
Nashville
Short Cuts
The Player
Gosford Park
3 Women
Kansas City
Popeye
A Prairie Home Companion
