>One of the best film-makers of his generation
>made movies around the same time as Kubrick and early Scorsese.
Yet while the plebs salivate over those guys they seem to have completely forgotten Altman.
>MASH
>McCabe & Mrs. Miller
>Nashville
>The long goodbye
>The Player
All terrific movies.
>implying MASH and The Long Goodbye are good
McCabe and Short Cuts are his best films

I like the anti political correctness propaganda. He probably didn't know what was coming, but movies like MASH have aged well because of this.

he's hardly forgotten and often heralded. he made far too many movies to ignore.
McCabe & Mrs Miller is getting a bluray restoration next month.

Finally. The DVD that's out right now is unwatchable in some parts.

Good to know. Still, it seems like the younger generation is less aware of him.
only seen mash and it was trash
that rhymed haha

You're trash
altman had almost nothing in common with those two guys though, by his own admission
no shit Nashville is impeccable but your average viewer isn't going to sit through a three-hour epic about the 70's when they could watch the Shining instead
very few real cinema lovers forget about Altman though. I would say film students/young film makers should watch more of him though

>nothing in common
Same era; similar critical success; different levels of popularity today.
