I just looked up Brewster McCloud and it sounds super interesting, I'm going to keep my eye out for it now. I love Altman think he's one of the best directors, The Player was fantastic and Images is also super underrated horror/thriller.

The original Rollerball is fantastic, love the concept and the idea. Again it's got that gritty 70s flavor, and is a complex sci fi film that deals with individuals vs the collective, among other things. I see some similarities between Rollerball and Hunger Games, wonder if one influenced the other. Now the remake is one of the worst movies of all time, stay away from it at all costs.
