I liked "Remember My Name", but it was directed by Alan Rudolph (produced by Altman, though)

oh, you are right; my memory was faulty. I'll replace "Remember My Name" (I love that movie; Geraldine Chaplin is one of my favorite actresses) with "The Player" then ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

Hi, Many of the others have been listed so I left those alone .. the listing is enough for me on them, although I might swap one or two things. Luis Bunuel The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie Viridiana The Phantom of Liberty Pedro Almodovar Kika High Heels Talk to Her Federico Fellini La Dolce Vita 8 1/2 Intervista Terry Gilliam The Fisher King Brazil The Man Who Killed Don Quixote Peter Greenaway The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover Prospero's Books The Pillow Book Nicolas Roeg Performance (with Don Cammell) Castaway Don't Look Now Walkabout Bad Timing, A Sensual Obsession Jean Luc Godard Godard's King Lear Breathless Alphaville Zhang Yimou Raise the Red Lantern To Live Shanghai Triad Peter Brook King Lear Marat/Sade Meetings With Remarkable Men The Mahabharata Some of these list more than 3 films, because it was impossible to choose for me. Peter Brook is one such case where 3 of those things were first on the stage and they were unbelievably strong and far out, and impossible to even describe, and the words in Marat/Sade are so prophetic and make so much sense today that no one will actually see it or listen to it! Nicolas Roeg preceded MTV in the film PERFORMANCE still one of the best films ever made and the one film where the music is so unbelievably well used to effect. Peter Greenaway is insane and out of it, but his work is amazing ... and if you can handle it, check out the opening sketch in NOT MOZART for something totally insane, that most people would not even consider! Zhang Yimou is here, because he helped break some of the chains in Chinese films, however, those chains are back harder than ever and Chinese films have fallen in recent years, in my eyes ... or I have not seen many of them ... they just not showing in the film festival here! And thanks for adding Tarkovsky, although I would like to add folks like Denis Arcand, Peter Weir, Lasse Hallstrom, Krzystof Kieslowsky, Nikita Mikhakov, Jacques Rivette ... and so many others! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
