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)

Unconventional western that definitely deserves attention, even if only because of its ending, which is simply good. The performances of the actors are the highlight of this film, which Robert Altman stylized and directed in a way that is unforgettable and unique in its concept. However, without Leonard Cohen's music, it would feel incomplete.
