Loads to love, all casually observed with that slow Altman zoom (photographed by Toyomichi Kurita) and often very funny (e.g. cop who won't stop talking about fishing, Willis's 'incarceration').

Cookie's Fortune (1999 Robert Altman)
I love the way that Anne Rapp (normally a script editor, but also wrote Dr T and the Women) doesn't tell you a thing about any characters but rather lets you find out by observing and by event. In the midst of this, Patricia Neal and Charles Dutton give wonderful performances. But everyone else is good too (though perhaps Chris O'Donnell overplays as the over-eager cop) - Glenn Close, Julianne Moore, Liv Tyler (Bebe Buell's daughter!), Ned Beatty, Courtney Vance, Donald Moffat, Lyle Lovett (clearly an Altman favourite), Niecy Nash, Ruby Wilson (singer), Rufus Thomas (bar owner).
