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?

@mksun , I am not putting Electra Glide In Blue on my suggested list . . . it was just that some of your picks from that era made me think of it and at one time it had an impact on me.

But Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid!  Yeah!  The fact that Bob Dylan wrote Knocking On Heaven's Door for it all by itself makes it great!  What a classic!  I love the duel at ten paces  that Kristofferson (Billy The Kid) has with Jack Elam:  Kistofferson turns around at pace one and when Elam turns around at six or seven Kristofferson shoots him and then says, "That wasn't ten, hoss."  

Anyway, I remember my middle sister (I was the youngest) took me to see that when it came out.  I think she wanted to see Bob Dylan, but my oldest sister was out of town and my middle sister was an introvert and didn't want to go alone so she took me.  The violence, which was graphic for its time, made an impact on me.

I have not seen Lost Highway, but I'll look for it and see if it is a rental on 'on demand.'

Something About Mary is a great comedy. Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz.

Young Frankenstein. 

Strange Brew. 

Mouse Hunt.

All comedies.  Beer makes them better.  😅

Something About Mary is a great comedy. Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz.

And don't forget Matt Dillon!

@immatthewj No, I am not ashamed to love Steve Martin either. (aside from Father of the Bride stuff)

I love a lot of comedies. John Cusack too.

@grislybutter ...Midnight Run is a classic. Might have been DeNiro’s first comedic role and he surprised the crap out of me he was so good at it. Another great DeNiro romantic comedy was Mad Dog and Glory with Bill Murray and Uma Thurman.

Trading Places is an all timer too....Terrific cast with Ackroyd, Murphy, Curtis, Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy. I also loved Jamie Lee in A Fish Called Wanda with Michael Palin, John Cleese and a wacky Kevin Kline.

Also a John Cusack fan. His best role may have been in the underrated Grosse Point Blank where he played a hitman.

I mentioned The Quick and the Dead earlier, another top notch Western was Silverado. A few other good modern Westerns: 3:10 to Yuma, Hell or High Water, Hateful Eight.

Steve Martin in Roxanne! And don’t get me started on The Princess Bride.
