I’m a huge fan of all of the directors mentioned in this post especially Lynch and Kubrick. I’m a movie buff with a huge library of Blu Rays and DVDs with lots of films by Lynch, Kubrick, Billy Wilder, the Coens, Hitchcock, and Jim Jarmusch. I’m also a fan of Chaplin and recently felt compelled to purchase a Criterion Blu-Ray copy of his 1940 dark satire featuring his very first speaking role. A time less classic which was extremely relevant when it was released and unfortunately still is.
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?

@immatthewj Gotta love Sam Peckinpah and Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid was recently released on Blu-Ray by Criterion. Drugstore Cowboy will also be released by Criterion on Blu-Ray within the next few months. Have not seen Electra Glide In Blue but I will check it out. Have you seen Lost Highway by David Lynch? Robert Blake has an incredibly creepy role in it. |
@bdp24 +1 for Detour, Black Swan, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, Touch of Evil, Silence of The Lambs, The Machinist, Rivers Edge, and Shadow Of the Vampire. These are great picks.
