Choose Me (1984)
Member Rating:  
The lives of five L.A. natives intertwine in this romantic comedy from independent filmmaker and former Robert Altman protégé Alan Rudolph. Eve (Lesley Ann Warren) is a bar owner who has sworn off permanent commitments, seeking only the temporary sexual satisfaction of men. Her roommate Ann (Genevieve Bujold) is her polar opposite. In reality, Ann is secretly the radio sex therapist Dr. Nancy Love, but she has little romantic experience despite her profession. Into their lives comes Mickey (Keith Carradine), a recent mental patient who might be an enigmatic pathological liar. Though she's powerfully attracted to Mickey, Eve's kept at arm's length by her lover Zack (Patrick Bauchau), a married man whose wife (Rae Dawn Chong) also finds Mickey irresistible. When Nancy sleeps with Mickey, he proposes marriage, but she rejects him, though the assignation does have a positive effect on her radio show. Considered Rudolph's seminal work, Choose Me (1984) was the third in a thematically-linked trilogy from the quirky low-budget director, the first two being Welcome to L.A. (1977) and Remember My Name (1978). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

    Quirky? That's putting it mildly 007. An unexpected plot, often producing a distortion or perversion: a twist of fate; no less a story with a quirky twist. This movie is a pure study in entanglements. The more honest the lead character Mickey (Keith Carradine) tries to be, with all he comes in contact with in a web-of-lies nightlife environment, the more twists and turn-of-events evolve in the daylight. First of all I am a Leslie Ann Warren fan. Watch this movie closely to make sure you do not miss something due to something that jars the mind or emotions as if with a violent, unexpected blow. This film is under two hours but the artistic delivery uses such deliberate (slow) precision to deliver any forward (plot) dialog or motion, I found my self checking the runtime clock. (Interesting to note that the movie detail (description) did not make the connection Ann and Nancy being the same person). Best line: Zack: I'd rather hear the gun go off than listen to this sh--.

    Great acting by all hands and a terrific twisty plot. Smoky film noir, each frame is like a museum piece. Music is great as well! An overlooked gem from the late 70's, you'll definitely love it.

    If you like quirky movies, you've got to see this one. I love Genevieve Bujold. This movie has a cult following and its certainly NOT for folks who only like mainstream films. Lots of fun, and and interesting take on life and love. 5-STARS
