MASH

1970
Director: Robert Altman
Starring: Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall

It's the Korean War and these are the doctors and nurses who help injured soldiers who fly in from the battlefields. Basically, this movie has a bunch of crude, male chauvinist pigs exploiting women. There's no plot--it's just a bunch of little pointless segments that would work best for TV (and apparently DID work best for TV). Donald Sutherland is pretty charming, even though his character is awful. The theme song is catchy.
