Good movie and/or 4k disc recommendations?


I notice the Home Theater section has very little discussion about what people are watching.  I put in my 4k disc of "Blade Runner 2049" the other night and loved it.  The sound was fantastic on my 5.0 system.  My other favorite right now is "Ford v. Ferrari."

What do you guys like to watch these days?

Another movie that impresses me with the clarity of the picture is "The Sunset Limited" on HBO Max.  It's just Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones sitting around an apartment talking for 90 minutes, but the close-ups and the color tones always impress me when I watch it.  There are no surround sound effects, so sometimes I watch it in 2 channel stereo.  I have watched this movie more times than any other movie.  It's based on a play by Cormac McCarthy.

@dweller, I do like "My Dinner with Andre", though I haven't watched it in years.

 

@ozzy, "The Sunset Limited" dazzles mostly because of the great acting by Samuel L. Jackson.  He pretty much has to carry the movie, though Jones is also good.  (Jones directed it.)  The movie/play is basically a long discussion about whether God exists, but it has a lot of little side anecdotes and topics that keep it fresh.  Cormac McCarthy is one of America's best novelists.

I saw Kubrick's "2001" in theaters as a boy, and loved the monolith and the evil HAL computer scenes, but didn't understand anything else, especially the space baby ending.

Funny we believed there could be a Howard Johnson's hotel on the moon by 2001.

John Wick 1 was a game changer, but the funny thing were all the online comments complaining "he never even got his car back" or "Wick lives in a glass house, they couldn't just shoot him from outside?"

 

So John Wick 2 addressed both of those complaints in the opening scenes.

Last weekend I went to a small Martin Logan audio exhibit.  In their home theater demo, they primarily used "Dune" and "Top Gun - Maverick."
