  This is absolutely one of the best movies that I have ever seen. Saw it the last time some years back and can't get enough of it. Can someone tell me why this is not on DVD. I would even take it on VHS if its out there. The performances of Cher, Sandy Dennis, Karen Black and Kathy Bates are excellent. This movie leaves a lasting impression on you. Altman at his best in directing this picture.

• what's taking so long?

  It seems so hard for the good films to get to home video and not the crappy ones I know they have this film on VHS but once you had DVD you never want to go back to VHS,and what is taking so long for every movie that is ever made to transfer to dvd!I want this movie to be on dvd because much I adore TCM I know they will never air it and if they do they will air it at some very late hour,and then never play it again.I want on dvd so I can watch whenever I feel like it.

• As interesting as Silkwood, terribly overlooked.

  I'm no reviewer, but here is a great film. The entire movie is in a five and dime store, so all of the focus is on the actors. Robert Altman takes him time and fully developes these characters with 3 secrets, which at this reunion get told, explained, developed one at a time. A very human look at humans and how they hide true feelings even among dear friends. The movie Giant had been filmed near by 20 yrs earlier and they formed a Jimmy Dean fan club. But now, 1 yearns to tell who they really are (Cher), 1 to tell who they always were (Black) and 1 to come to terms with who she really is (Dennis). Cher's very best work. Kathy Bates here too. We've all been there. See there's. Deeply satisfying. Deserves to be on a DVD.
