Movie/film suggestions.


 

While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies wink).

I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:

The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

@noromance: The manager at my video store in the early-2000’s one day asked me what my favorite movie was. A ridiculous question, so I gave her a ridiculous answer: Eraserhead, of course. I recently read that Stanley Kubrick cited it as his all-time favorite movie, and screened it for guests in his home. I have it in the director approved Criterion DVD Special Edition version.

 

Other than Eyes Wide Shut I don't think there is a Kubrick film I don't love.

 

@noromance: I didn’t mean for my use of the term ridiculous to be taken literally, as a pejorative dismissal. I love Eraserhead, but I knew the store manager would consider my choice ridiculous. Which she did.

 

@hifiguy42: My favorite of Kubrick’s is Dr. Strangelove.
