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 
).
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?
@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. |
@grislybutter , I thought Planes, Trains And Automobiles was hilarious! A great movie! However I am not ashamed to admit I have been a Steve Martin fan for a long time. And Steve Earle got some acclaim for his cover of Six Days On The Road. There is a good youtube of him doing it on someone’s TV show, and this was back when Earle was in his heyday of drug abuse, and judging by the gleam in his eyes he was lit up then. I remember when that came out I had a job in southern Illinois and my niece who was more like a little sister to me back then got to come down and spend the X-mas holidays with us and we all went to the theater to see that movie. |
@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.' |
