If you want a movie that's visually stunning check out "Days of Heaven" directed by Terence Malick and shot by Nestor Almendros, who won the Oscar for cinematography. It stars Richard Gere in one of his earliest film roles, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepard, and a young actress named Linda Manz. The dialogue is very sparse and Manz does a great voiceover narration which was reportedly unscripted. The story takes mostly takes place on a farm in the Texas Panhandle and the farm scenes are gorgeously shot.
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 
).
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?

@grislybutter ...Midnight Run is a classic. Might have been DeNiro’s first comedic role and he surprised the crap out of me he was so good at it. Another great DeNiro romantic comedy was Mad Dog and Glory with Bill Murray and Uma Thurman. Trading Places is an all timer too....Terrific cast with Ackroyd, Murphy, Curtis, Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy. I also loved Jamie Lee in A Fish Called Wanda with Michael Palin, John Cleese and a wacky Kevin Kline. Also a John Cusack fan. His best role may have been in the underrated Grosse Point Blank where he played a hitman. I mentioned The Quick and the Dead earlier, another top notch Western was Silverado. A few other good modern Westerns: 3:10 to Yuma, Hell or High Water, Hateful Eight. Steve Martin in Roxanne! And don’t get me started on The Princess Bride. |
