Of Time and the City
In an 11.23 L.A. Times piece about Robert Altman, Prairie Home Companion creator Garrison Keillor says when they first met he "tried to interest him in making a movie about a man coming back to Minnesota to bury his father, a winter movie. 'There haven't been many movies made in winter,' I said. And Altman replied, "You would quickly find out why.' He declined. 'In the end,' he said, 'the death of an old man is not a tragedy.'" (Joe Leydon sent me the call-out.)

But Affliction and The Sweet Hereafter are both on my all-time-favorite movies list. Both are based on novels by Russell Banks.
