McCabe & Mrs. Miller

“How did I ever happen to see McCabe & Mrs. Miller? Well, I’m a total, forever Julie Christie fan. So that started me off on the movie. Warren Beatty, okay. Early pioneer across America in the cold. Poor Julie Christie is running I think the little whorehouse with the ladies, so it’s very sexy, decadent, very kind of early Victoriana or… prairie dress cross, you know, hard life, cross country, snow, wet, rain, freezing cold. And of course she falls in love with Warren Beatty.”

“McCabe and Mrs. Miller... The reason I'm not taking it because I have it is because an ex-boyfriend gave it to me and I started watching it and I was like, do you know what, turn it off. So there you go, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, I'm sure it's great but he did a bit of a number on me.”

“So this one, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, this is an Altman movie and this is really probably my favorite movie. I can't even tell you why—because of the layers, because of the color, because of the mumbling, because of the deconstructed Western business, because of Julie Christie, because of opium, because of horrors and religion and just in the street. Come on, man. America on its way up. Doesn't end well for McCabe.”

“McCabe & Mrs. Miller is my favorite Altman movie. This… Warren Beatty, Julie Christie. Opium dens, nineteenth-century prostitution, hard drinking, gunfights, and at the center a beautiful love story.”

“Also, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie.”

“This is the newest of the westerns I picked, it's McCabe & Mrs. Miller. It's part of like the New Hollywood in that the story is kind of messier than what you're usually getting from Hollywood until that point. Oh, I love the music in this movie and it features primarily three songs by Leonard Cohen. These songs are beautiful. I can't think of this movie without thinking of Leonard Cohen, the songs are perfect.”
