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 think Jim Jarmusch is fine, after Down by Law, he is forever cherished in Europe by a big following. 

I would like to make one correction to the above suggestions. The best movie is Dumb and Dumber. Period. Everybody knows it,

 

Okay @grislybutter, I admit it. Dumb And Dumber is a guilty pleasure of mine. Is Bad Santa in that same category? I’m pretty lenient when in comes to movies, though I have to draw the line at super hero and "action" ones.

 

@winoguy17: The Man Who Wasn’t There stars Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, James Galdolfini, Scarlett Johansson, and Richard Jenkins. A great story, as usual from the Coen brothers. To return to the premise of this thread, there is one guy I sure wish wasn't there. Or anywhere.

 

@bdp24 I was somewhat joking, about Dumb and Dumber.

I am pretty sure our movie taste varies widely. The smartest movies were made in Eastern Europe in the 60s as a protest again the regime disguised as satire or comedy or documentary. We might soon see Hollywood produce those too.

"For Billy Wilder it’s Sunset Blvd. and The Apartment." 

This is my favorite Billy Wilder film!
