I found this film to have a great cast, but I just couldn't keep up with it. I usually love Altman's films. I will probably watch the film again down the road.

OK, I'll take a crack at #1. But we are relying on my memory of a film that I love but haven't seen in a long, long time.
This is one of my favorite films of all time and I think it's Altman's best. You've inspired me to watch it again in the near future to refresh my memory of all its rich tapestry and to see some new things I've never noticed before (that happens every time I watch it but as I said, it's been a long time; I listened to the commentary when I bought the DVD more than two years ago but I didn't watch the film again otherwise).
Edited to add:
This is a fascinating book for those who want to know more about the making of the film:
The Nashville Chronicles: The Making of Robert Altman's Masterpiece by Jan Stuart

movielib....I agree. It's one of my favorite films as well and I have read the book you suggested.
I believe Tom had Linnea's telephone number from a previous visit to Nashville.
I love Karen Black's bitchy Connie White.

Thanks guys.
I will definitely have to watch the film again. (Probably more than once.)
My favorite character (if I can remember ) was Lily Tomlin's character. I loved her in this film.
From the scene with Opal in the car at the accident to the scene where Tom sings I'm Easy to "her".
She was excellent and I don't see why she couldn't have won an Oscar.

I just watched the movie earlier tonight for the first time off of my dvr from the tcm airing last week, and i had a question.
Pretty good movie, i might have to watch it again at a later date to fully get the movie, as with 24 characters to follow around for 2 and half hours, it did get a tad confusing at times, but for the most part, i could follow the movie.
