#94. The Player (1992)
- Director: Robert Altman
- Metascore: 86
- Runtime: 124 minutes
Robert Altman, known for “M.A.S.H.” and “Nashville,” casts Tim Robbins in this Hollywood satire as a studio executive on the receiving end of death threats from an anonymous screenwriter whose script he rejected. Vincent D’Onofrio, Whoopi Goldberg, Fred Ward, and Greta Scacchi appear in supporting roles, and both Altman and writer Michael Tolkin were nominated for Oscars for their respective directing and screenwriting. This film, widely considered one of Altman’s best, helped revive some of the director’s juice in Hollywood.
