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?

While you're completing your tour of the Coens' oeuvre, please watch Barton Fink and then write me and tell me what the Hell that was about!  Interesting how I can so enjoy a movie that I have no understanding of at all (like Lynch's Mulholland Drive).

+1 for Jean de Florette and its sequel, Manon of the Spring....breathtakingly beautiful and heart-rending

Hear My Song...little known, funny, touching and wonderful music 

Chaplin's City Lights...maybe my all-time favorite

Billy Wilder's The Fortune Cookie...seriously, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau at their best

Singin' in the Rain...hmm, maybe this is my all-time favorite

Fritz Lang's Metropolis

Everything by the Coen brothers

Almost everything by Wes Anderson

and about 1,000 others...

@bdp24  I admit that part of my affection for The Fortune Cookie is because I practiced law for 40 years and the TFC is a perfect send-up of personal injury lawsuits.  And great in other ways, too.  

Probably my career also heightens my appreciation of the Coens' Intolerable Cruelty.  I also loved the Hudsucker Proxy and Burn After Reading.  The Ladykillers is good but not among their bests IMO.  Surprising nobody has mentioned Blood Simple and The Big Lebowski as Coen essentials, too.
