Robert Altman has long been seen as one of the great geniuses of American cinema; with iconoclastic masterpieces such as The Long Goodbye and Nashville influencing directors as different as Paul Thomas Anderson and Judd Apatow. But even with those in mind, tonight's picks represent the core of Altman's deepest anti-establishment feelings, and not only in their themes, but in the productions themselves - which were wildly against the standard practices of both filmmaking and storytelling of the day!
