M*A*S*H*

From the utterly ridiculous to the positively sublime. Cargo Cult shifts its focus from looking at films of pop culture importance but questionable quality to a movie truly great in all its aspects. Robert Altman's MASH accomplishes the nearly impossible: it manages to be wildly funny while breaking your heart, is deeply humane despite its graphic brutality, and is simultaneously a work of exquisitely crafted art and popular entertainment. The friendships forged on the screen in MASH are so powerful they extend to the viewers themselves. Go on, after watching this, tell us you don't think of Hawkeye, Trapper, and Duke as your friends.<br />
