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?

I was thinking of commenting on this subject after reading the original question.

The OP appeared to me to originally ask,’’Pretty much all of us are lovers of movies’’… ‘The reproduction of sound they contain’’

From a technical viewpoint and being from a cinema presentation background my answer would have been so off track from what’s been posted.

l would have commented on films with great sound design….effects and ambience that bring films to life.

Thank you for lengthly reply to my comment.

Your political leaning in your original post just went right over my head. I did wonder why The Madness of King George was mentioned. I hated the music score and sold the CD recently….not one of George Fenton’s best offerings at least for this listener. However the real King George you were referring to has materialised tonight on daytime TV. You just can’t write it!

Not intended for the OP but some facts about The Madness of King George:-

 

George III by the way didn’t loose the Colonies…

George III did not go mad (bi-polar) until years after the Colonies were lost.

The English Government (Parliament) was the power at the time, not the Crown.

Don’t believe everything in the ‘Hamilton’ musical. Some of it is historically incorrect.

The film however is more accurate!

l will find time to comment back but it’s 1AM here in the UK

@thecarpathian

l watched ‘’Cussandbanter’’ in the last few days…..it was much longer than I remember but this time in full colour and hi-fi sound.

One great line that will live in infamy……’’Of all the Jack Daniel’s oval offices in the world, he had to walk back into……’’
