1.The Mr. Bill Collection (The Best of Saturday Night Live) starring: Christopher Guest, Robert Smigel directed by: Christopher Guest, Robert Smigel, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson, Albert Brooks May 01, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.50
All the material on this disk plus more is contained in the three-disk Definitive Collection which at the time of this writing is in print, available on Amazon, and very inexpensive (especially through 3rd-party sellers). What the D.C. lacks is any printed material that might be included with this Anchor Bay release. Mr. Bill, BTW, seemed a lot funnier to me during his SNL run (this seems to be the general consensus), but even with hindsight, I'd probably still purchase the D.C., if only for an inexpensive trip down Memory Lane. Rating reflects the material, which I have seen, and not this particular release, which I haven't.

2.Short Cuts starring: Andie MacDowell, Julianne Moore, Tim Robbins, Bruce Davison, Jack Lemmon directed by: Robert Altman March 26, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.44
This is the same edition that came out in 2004; it does not contain any new features. I looked on Criterion's website, and apparently the only thing "new" about this edition is the lower retail price. Still a great movie, so if you don't own it yet, now you can get it for less money. Very cool feature-length making-of documentary included.

3.Cookie's Fortune starring: Glenn Close, Julianne Moore, Liv Tyler, Chris O'Donnell, Charles S. Dutton directed by: Robert Altman March 07, 2000

Great DVD. Watched it a number of times. All the characters are interesting.

4.Saturday Night Live - The Best of the Clinton Scandal starring: Christopher Guest, Robert Smigel directed by: Christopher Guest, Robert Smigel, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson, Albert Brooks September 12, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.67
This was a hoot but I wish they showed more of the Linda Tripp skits with John Goodman, those were some of the best!

5.Come Back to the Five & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean starring: Cher, Sandy Dennis, Karen Black, Sudie Bond, Kathy Bates directed by: Robert Altman June 21, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.00
Please release this on DVD. I have just about worn the vhs copy out. It is such an excelent miovie. It deserves being taken to the next level of mass media.

7.MAS*H (Special Edition) starring: Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Tom Skerritt, Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall directed by: Robert Altman January 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.97
For its time, this was an entertaining comedy with an anti-war message that was loved for its ability to express the feelings of most Americans at the time on the Vietnam War. This is a film about the Korean War only in name but as you will see throughout, the de facto Vietnam theme is prevalent throughout sometimes subtly but even blatantly for instance in the downtown "Korea" scene where the women are all wearing Vietnamese-style conical hats which is not indigenous to Korea. Overall, this comedy doesn't age well for modern viewers although its anti-war message is very clear and resonates even today. Some parts are simply boring and I especially found the whole football scene totally sleep-worthy and I didn't see how it added to the overall theme unless it's a way to show how Americans try to impose their culture ...

8.Ready to Wear starring: Sophia Loren, Julia Roberts, Marcello Mastroianni, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Kim Basinger directed by: Robert Altman May 08, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.29
WORST 133 MINUTES I'VE SPENT LATELY. IT HAD SUBTITLES, THAT DIDN'T STAY UP LONG ENOUGH, AND JUST A STUPIT MOVIE OVERALL. COMPANY DELIVERED DVD IN RECORD TIME. THAT'S THE ONLY GOOD THING I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS PRODUCT.

9.Popeye (Clam) starring: Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, Ray Walston, Paul Dooley, Paul L. Smith directed by: Robert Altman October 01, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.25
I watched this as a kid and now have children of my own. We watched it again last night. I must say that this film is brilliant. In the hype of contemporary special effects, over acted and over sung musicals, this film somehow captures the flavor of the cartoons, yet builds its own characters. I was hooked as a kid, and now my own kids are asking to watch it again. It is clean, morals are taught, well acted, music is on spot for the purpose. Very much a classic - Williams and Duvall are excellent. I have been watching movies for all my life - I very much enjoy them, but I have not been so pleased after a movie in years.

10.Long Goodbye starring: Elliott Gould, Nina Van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden, Mark Rydell, Henry Gibson directed by: Robert Altman September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.74
There's no doubt that Raymond Chandler is a wonderful writer. But this film version of The Long Goodbye does not do the book any justice. It throws out the 1930's historical context and sets the book in the 1960's. This does not work. Elliot Gould is totally miscast as Philip Marlowe, Chandler's famous private eye. Gould lacks the toughness and wit of Chandler's Marlowe as well as the mannerisms and philosophy. Not surprising, The Long Goodbye is a complete flop. Don't waste your time and money on this film even if you love Chandler, Marlowe and film noir. Thomas Lee.
