Rewatched "Capote" recently. We lost a great actor in Philip Seymour Hoffman.
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?

Agreed, @slaw . I liked him in most everything I’ve seen him in. Almost Famous and The Ides Of March immediately came to my mind, but there are so many others. |
I don’t know why I had avoided or put off watching these two before, but this week I finally watched Kill The Irishman and The Doors. I guess I finally watched them due to Val Kilmer’s recent death. I thoroughly enjoyed Kill The Irishman, and I do remember when I was a teenager hearing about all the bombings that were happening in Cleveland sometime in the ’70s, so I also enjoyed it for that reason. As far as The Doors, other than Wonderland, I was never a big fan of Val Kilmer. However, I thought that his portrayal of Jim Morrison was at least okay if not better. I guess one of the reasons that I put off watching that movie for over 30 years was that I remember reading Nobody Gets Out Of Here Alive on a 747 over the Pacific in ’83 when I was in the Air Force and after reading that I always felt that I did not need to see the Hollywood version. I remember after the movie first came out, I was talking to one of my old Air Force buddies on the phone and he was telling me what a good movie it was; I remember telling him that after reading Nobody Gets Out Of Here Alive and watching the VHS tape of The Doors Live At The Hollywood Bowl I didn’t feel the need to watch actors do a portrayal of the group. The movie touched on a lot of what was in the book in some way/shape/form and for the most part it held my interest. On edit: I just now did a google of Val Kilmer movies, and although his part does not stick in my mind on these two, I also enjoyed True Romance and Masked And Anonymous.
