It's a Robert Altman movie; Like Jim Jarmush, or Lars Von Trier or Wes Anderson, the directors creativity is as interesting as the plot or the action.
For instance, if we were discussing detective movies, The Long Goodbye would be a top ten movie, too, not necessarily for the plot or the pacing, (pretty much a standard Marlowe whodunnit) but because of the direction.
And if you're gonna mention Tom Horn, might as well throw in "Judge Roy Bean", too. Both pretty mediocre movies, but made better by dint of a great actor in the leading role....
But this is a great discussion....keep it going!
