Re watching Southern Comfort (1981) prompted me to revisit Keith Carradine's filmography. I haven't seen all he's done, esp in recent years, but his run in the 70s-80s alone is easy for a top ten.
1) McCabe and Mrs Miller (1971) - one scene but maybe the best scene in the movie
2) Thieves Like Us (1974) - astonishingly good and touching in another Altman masterpiece
3) Nashville (1975) - another Altman: I'm not actually a huge fan of the movie but he's terrific
4) Emperor of the North (1973) - counter balances Marvin and Borgnine wonderfully
5) The Duellists (1977) - I feel like this movie gets rediscovered every seven years or so; he's great
6) Pretty Baby (1978) - this film would be illegal if made today - he's very good
7) The Long Riders (1980) - the brothers should've worked more together, they all rock in this.
8) Choose Me (1984) - I'll put this in for all the other Alan Rudolphs I haven't seen
9) Chiefs (1983) - splendid mini series
10) Southern Comfort (1981) - my favourite Carradine performance I wish he and Powers Boothe had worked together again
NB recognise he has done much fine work post-1984 this is just to cover that first 15 years
