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 , good deal--another vote for Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid! And Apocalypse Now! And Goodfellas too! And I’ll go along with Deliverance, I was never a fan of Burt Reynold’s movies before that though. I also like your pick of Drugstore Cowboy with Matt Dillon, but perhaps because I used to know someone that often got his product from someone else who broke into pharmacies.

How about Electra Glide In Blue with Robert Blake? There was a time when I think I would have put it on my list. That time has passed.

Goodfellas +1
I know we have gone very high brow/low budget (relatively), let me take it down:

Bowfinger

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Trading Places

My most watched movie, I can annoyingly quote most lines from:

Midnight Run

I am a sucker for cross-country movies.

@immatthewj Gotta love Sam Peckinpah and Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid was recently released on Blu-Ray by Criterion. Drugstore Cowboy will also be released by Criterion on Blu-Ray within the next few months. Have not seen Electra Glide In Blue but I will check it out. Have you seen Lost Highway by David Lynch? Robert Blake has an incredibly creepy role in it.
