M*A*S*H (1970) Comedy PG
With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy
was brought to the big screen that would forever change the face of
cinema. Altman's insistence on overlapping the characters' dialogue,
photographing the film with fog filters and sloppy zooms, and a frank
combination of jarringly graphic surgery footage with cynical humor,
resulted in a timeless comedy that reflects the American counterculture's
growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early
1970s. Politics aside, M*A*S*H is a classic motion picture that
skyrocketed Altman to the upper ranks of Hollywood directors. Based on the
novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical
Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles
from the front lines of the Korean Conflict. Led by the sardonic Captains
"Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and "Trapper" John McIntyre (Elliott
Gould), the film has the feel of an absurd three-ring circus, and is
composed of a series of vignettes rather than a traditionally unfolding
narrative, creating that freewheeling feel so unique to early-'70s cinema.
Starring Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Tom Skerritt, Sally Kellerman,
Robert Duvall, Gary Burghoff, Jo Anne Pflug

Thus begins the visit from Hell as the two travel to meet Mom (Blythe
