Robert Altman's movies are so unique, you kind of just have to watch a lot of them to see what you like. I find them to be polarizing, and when I force friends to watch them, I feel like everyone comes out with their own hot takes on what they love and which they hate. So, today, I decided to make a top 10 of his films and let you all judge me. Let's dive in. 1. McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971)I think this has to be my favorite Robert Altman movie...right now. It's a revisionist take on the Western genre that stars Warren Beatty and Julie Christie in unforgettable roles. Altman deglamorizes the myths of the Old West, presenting a muddy frontier town where dreams go to die. Vilmos Zsigmond's cinematography gives the film a dreamlike quality. And the Leonard Cohen soundtrack provides a chilling atmosphere. 2. The Long Goodbye (1973)I love a film noir so much, and this is one of the best film noirs of all time. It takes us inside Raymond Chandler's classic detective Philip Marlowe, as he scours 1970s Los Angeles on a case.Elliott Gould's mumbling portrayal of Marlowe perfectly captured the character for the modern world. The film's controversial ending is a testament to Altman's willingness to subvert audience expectations.3. The Player (1992)Hollywood loves a movie about Hollywood, and this film is no exception. The film's opening tracking shot gives us a dizzying array of celebrity cameos and immerses the viewer in the world...
