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?

Dr. Strangelove is my favorite film, period.

Yes, 'Madness' is appropriate indeed.

I'm a huge David Lynch fan - he and Stanley Kubrick were always my 2 favorite film-makers; the painter and the still photographer - when he announced a few weeks ago that he'd had emphysema for 4 years and needed oxygen to walk across his living room, I was expecting that sad news at any time.

Lynch and Kubrick were certainly mutual admirers of each other's work.... 

'Mulholland Dr' is my all-time favorite film. Loved 'Dr Strangelove', 'Lolita' and the rest, but my fave Kubrick would be a tie between '2001' and 'A Clockwork Orange'. It's raining, I'm singing.

@winoguy17: Speaking of the Coen Brothers, have you seen The Man Who Wasn't There. Fantastic! A modern Noir instant classic, with the most beautiful B & W cinematography (by Roger Deakins) I've EVER seen. I also love their little-known A Serious Man, which having a Jewish girlfriend was helpful in understanding.wink

For Billy Wilder it's Sunset Blvd. and The Apartment. For Hitchcock it's Vertigo.

What has become of Jim Jarmusch? I loved his Coffee And Cigarettes, especially the scene with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop.
