Flick of the Day

Film: POPEYE

Director: Robert Altman

Actors: Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, Ray Walston, Paul Dooley, Linda Hunt, Paul L. Smith, Bill Irwin

Year: 1980

Synopsis: Popeye comes to Sweet Haven to find his long lost father.

If you were born before the 90s, I'm sure you remember the 'Popeye' cartoons. This is Robert Altman's live action adaption of that story. Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall are great as the famous characters. It didn't fair well at the box-office (or with critics), but it's enjoyable and worth a watch.

Year: 1978

A wealthy family prepares for the marriage of their only son into a family that... well, is not exactly up-to-par with their standards. First off, the bride wears braces and is named Muffin. This is one of the craziest weddings you'll ever attend. In true Altman fashion, there are several story-lines going on at once and the cast is tremendous (and huge). This film isn't as well known as the others on the list, but it is truly one of the best you'll ever see. Carol Burnett's performance is phenomenal (she was robbed on an Oscar nomination). *Check out Lillian Gish as the family matriarch. She was one of the first film stars in the 1910s and 1920s.
