10 Best Hal Ashby Movies, Ranked
From The Slugger's Wife to Being There, these are Hal Ashby's best movies.
Hal Ashby was an influential New Hollywood filmmaker who directed a string of gems in the 1970s and '80s. He started out as an editor in the '50s before stepping behind the camera himself with 1970s The Landlord. Although comedies were his specialty, Ashby's movies cover a range of genres, from war drama to biopics, and are often shot through with melancholy. A perennial outsider, Ashby brought an idiosyncratic perspective to all of his stories, especially the offbeat romance Harold and Maude and the social satire Being There.
