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?

 

128x128bdp24

For me it's Blade Runner.  There isn't a wasted frame.  I'm torn between with narration or without but I've seen it so many times I still hear the narration in my head even on the directors cut.

My guilty pleasure is "One From the Heart"  Tom Waits, Terry Garr and and cinematography at its finest.  (story on the hand....)

Ok, in no particular order, 5 more serious movies, not yet mentioned

Time of the Gypsies (great soundtrack)

Until the End of the World

Solaris

Babel

Rocco and His Brothers

 

I used to love Jean de Florette & Manon of the Spring but crazy rapist Russia loving Depardieu turned me off

A Complete Unknown. Just saw the movie, and Timothée Chalamet does an amazing job with both guitar and singing. If you like Dylan this movie really provides an immersive view of the times (1961-1965) and a powerful representation of Dylan's response. Very enjoyable and I will be looking for the soundtrack.
