Another Altman flick is the Long Goodbye with Elliot Gould, about a Sam Marlowe type private eye stuck in the early 1970's, very original & entertaining. I loved Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (and nearly everything else starring Clint Eastwood), but it sure ended on a downer, huh. Films from this time were more daring and edgy because of the nature of the times and because the studio "system" had broken down in the early sixties and directors were unleashed; at least thats how I understand it (I wasn't alive at the time).

Two more Brit films:
"Morgan" (which I watched recently and, unfortunately, didn't hold up.) "If" (another Malcolm McDowell film just released on DVD. It's in my Netflix queue and I'll be interested to see how it is after all these years.) American: "Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" (John Huston film starring Paul Newman. Still works for me.)

"Beyond The Valley of The Dolls" Directed by Russ Meyer and written by Roger Ebert!
It doesn't get any better (or worse, depending on your point of view) than this!

This may be a little off what most of you are posting, but remember that last, great, Peter Sellers flick, "Being There" ? It was partially filmed at Biltmore in Asheville, about 2 hrs from here.

Yes. Chauncey (the) Gardener was great. I think Shirley McClain was still on her first life back then.  Ron.
