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?

Another Robert Altman film with a great soundtrack is "Kansas City".  It has a cheesy plot, but the highlights are jazz at the Hey Hey Club scenes.

 

@thecarpathian: Speaking of Casablanca, I love all Bogie's Noir movies. I recently saw In A Lonely Place for the first time, and never miss a chance to watch your choice, The Big Sleep, Key Largo, The Maltese Falcon, High Sierra, Dark Passage, and Dead Reckoning. The one movie he's in that I don't like is The African Queen; I can't stand Katharine Hepburn.

 

I enjoyed Whiplash enough to watch it more than twice.  JK Simmons was great in that one. Also it is a movie with a musical theme; I would think that the drummers on this site might like it.

Alpha Dog was another I have watched more than twice.  Justin Timberlake, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster. . . .

War Dogs is another I've watched more than twice.Jonah Hill and Miles Teller create good film chemistry and the plot kept my attention and gave me a few laughs at the same time.

 

 

Two more who belong on any best director list:

Andrzej Żuławski

Jean-Pierre Melville
