"From the turn-of-the-century Northwest to seedy 70’s NYC, from an 80’s morgue to 90’s Japan to the modern-day midwest, the oldest profession in the world is onscreen to stay. Here are five timeless performances that are worth the peep show. Julie Christie as Constance Miller in Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller Julie Christie is exhilarating in her Oscar-nominated turn as the smart and sexy Constance Miller, a no-nonsense businesswoman in the wild and wicked Northwest who just happens to be in the business of selling sex. In fact, it’s Warren Beatty’s dream chaser John McCabe who is the bimbo to Miller’s sly fox. Like a whore himself, he needs the professional madam’s charms and chops to make a living more than she needs him as a partner in their bordello/tavern venture. Sex-positive feminism at its finest.

""It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching to the sky to just to surrender." – Leonard Cohen, "The Stranger Song" from McCabe & Mrs. Miller. Although Robert Altman's film is often thought of as a deconstructed Western, to me, it seemed more like a fantasy or science fiction film. It creates a world completley unto itself, that seems to exist outside of time and history. The small town of Presbyterian Chuch-probably in Montana or Washington state, is one of the most distinctive and memorable locatins in all of cinema, and one of the most depressing. Although the title refers to two of its characters, the movie seems to be told from the point of veiw of God- looking down on a town of miserable sinners. Presbyterian Chruch is a mining town that consists almost entirely of men, who are not particul "

"McCabe and Mrs. MillerJohn McCabe is a drunk, a card sharp, and full of personal demons. He's also a business man with the dream of opening a rspectable gambling den and whorehouse in a frigid Pacific Northwest mining community. Luckily for him, he runs across Mrs. Miller, brilliantly played by Julie Christie, a well-worn brothel madam with more wits and business sense than McCabe. Striking a deal that'll ensure their mutual success, McCabe agrees to put up the money for Miller's whores, and bath house in exchange for half of the profits. When McCabe pisses off a couple bussinessmen looking to buy him out, a trio of gunslingers arrive in town to help him understand their position. What ensues is anything but the average Western.Altman uses the languid, and melahncholy sound of Leonard Cohen's music to structure the slow and thoughtful pace of the film. The snow covered mountains and icy streets of the town heighten the cold relationship between McCabe and Miller, ne ... "

"In a discussion group recently the topic of 'book adaptations' has been brought up, and while I was watching this last night it occurred to me that this one is another good example of a successful 'book to movie' transformation that is neither too literal of a rote retelling, and stands on its own as a film.Caught the final third of this one a couple weekends ago while flipping channels, and then watched the rest of the movie yesterday evening. Not the first time I'd seen it (I've actually lost count how many times), and it struck me how very fresh and innovative it still seems 30 plus years after the fact. There wasn't really anything like it seen before, with its overlapping dialog, meandering storyline and counter-cultural viewpoints.Those brought up on the television series may find the flavor a little hard to digest, no neatly tied up plotlines, no laugh track, a subtler brand of humor.Gould and Sutherland are a great pairing, and would go on to cos ...
