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?

@immatthewj I hope you like it. I found it to be dark, grim and the ending was no better. 

Dark and grim are accurate descriptors, @nonoise .  I was not expecting a happy ending, but that was sort of  like what would happen if Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy decided to collaborate on something.  

Roadie (2011) is a movie with a musical theme that I found to be easily watchable.  Ron Eldard portrays a member of BOC's road crew who has recently received his walking papers from the band’s management.  This was part of his identity, and in the movie he has returned to his hometown (Queens, NYC) where instead of admitting that he is no longer on the road crew, he tells people he is actually running the show.  He meets up with a hometown girl (Jill Hennessy of Law & Order fame) he seems to have had (and still does) and her alpha male a-hole bf, played by Bobby Cannavale.  

Wiki calls Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016 starring Tina Fey as a correspondent in Afghanistan) a "biographical war comedy-drama."  Although it was humorous and made me laugh a few times, I was not going to go as far as calling it an outright comedy, but I did find it to be a movie worth watching.
