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 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

No love for Tarantino...?

I enjoyed Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.

What about his masterpiece Dusk til Dawn??

Well, not so much the movie, but Salma Hayek, hubba hubba!!!!

Great to see Abdellatif Kéchiche being mentioned. A difficult director

Also great to see The Counselor, an unfairly maligned masterpiece written by the great Cormac McCarthy, his only screenwriting effort.
