1902: John McCabe (Warren Beatty) turns up in a northwest mining town called Presbyterian Church, starts gambling and sets up a successful brothel with his girlfriend Constance (Julie Christie), an opium-addicted madam. They refuse an offer from the mine operators to buy them out, but the mine bosses refuse to take no for an answer. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

An unconventional western that's definitely worth your attention, if only for the ending, which is simply good. The performances are the highlight of this film, which Robert Altman superbly stylized, creating something unforgettable and uniquely his own. It's like it would be only half as impactful without the music of Leonard Cohen.
