'Hannah and Her Sisters'

The one WA film I truly haaaate:
'Shadows and Fog'

Add Radio Days and Play it Again Sam and I had a very soft spot for Manhattan Murder Mystery. I confess, it's the fils from the last 5 years that I have sort of let slip by without seeing, until Match Point (which was a disspointment to me). Looking forward to Scoop this weekend.

I've never been able to sit through Shadows & Fog

That's a good one, too. Very funny.

The only Altman films I can watch over and over again are 'M*A*S*H' and 'Gosford Park'. I could barely sit through 'Short Cuts' the first time I saw it... (It's not short and nothing is cut.)

'The Pink Panther 2'? Ugh.

The Altman chronology might be fun - but I'd restrict it to the '68-'88 period...

That's a tough one... I love The Player, but Vincent & Theo is so painful..

If I watched Robert Altman in chronilogical order I'd have to only do the following time periods:

1970-1974
2001-2001

Obviously, since California Split, he hasn't done much that appeals to me. I've yet to successfully sit all the way through Nashville despite many attempts to do so.

I hear ya, Alex. But what about Secret Honor?

At first I thought that said Scout's Honor. And I was trying to picture Alex viewing that Gary Coleman Boy Scout movie...

Havent seen that one yet. I like Philip Baker Hall but must admit that just the idea of watching one person do a Nixon impersonation for 90 minutes wears me out.

Love and Death is my favorite Woody Allen film. Followed closely by Annie Hall.
