                I also like M*A*S*H best among Altman movies, it was really quite subversive in its day and it still holds up to the test of time quite well. Having a song called "Suicide is Painless" as your movie theme song?

                I like The Player more than mookie apparently, but cannot move it ahead of M*A*S*H in the Altman canon. I liked Nashville up until the ending, which casts a pall on the rest of the movie.

                  MASH is certainly on our list also. Just watched Master And Commander again and that one may be added to my list also.

                    A movie from the 1980's I just recently saw for the first time, Runaway Train with Jon Voight ? No LeBaron convertibles in this one.

                        Mookie's original list did not include any musicals!

                        Maybe Mookie can make the list the "Top 27 Best Movies - ever" plus one?

                        If Mookie were to choose among The Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, The King and I, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Kiss Me Kate, The Sound of Music, Cabaret, or another musical not listed for this category, which would it be?


                        Tough choice?

                        According to the film critics, it would be Singing in the Rain, which is hard to disagree with....

                          It has to do with mookie being a man and not trying to please anybody else when making his personal top 27 list.
