I love this movie -- Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. To me, it's one of the greatest movies about women & the shit they deal have to deal with. So human & funny & scary & complex. Alice is one of my favorite on-screen mothers & this shot looks like a William Eggleston

One of the truly scariest and saddest movies I've ever seen ... also hauntingly beautiful. The combination of terror and grief affected me so much when I first saw it that I couldn't sleep for weeks. What a brilliant filmmaker. Rest in Peace, Nicolas Roeg.

Segal: "I got along with [Altman] really well... It was like a party. It was so civilized back then. There were no long hours. It was relaxed. That’s why those movies from the ’70s were so good...Those ’70s, what we’re talking about, were transcendent..."
