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?

Going back to Albert Brooks in Lost in America, I love the scene at the casino where Albert tries to talk the casino boss into giving back the "nest egg" his wife had lost. Classic.

@ezwind I am not a huge fan of Gross Point Blank, charming but the script a bit lazy, relying too much on the stars. 

@immatthewj The Favor is a delightful comedy with Brad Pitt.

 

Gattica: hidden gem

October Sky: uplifting

My Cousin Vinny: still pretty darned funny.

August Rush. Near the begining is a scene where the "soul mates" connect as his live concert synchs up remotely with her classical recital. Nicely done.

Stardust: Great musical soundtrack where the music is perfect for the visuals on the screen.

Flash Gordon:  just because

I watched Anora last night. Loved it. Mikey Madison deserves the Oscar. 

Also, excellent house / dance soundtrack that gave my 12" Velodyne some exercise :)

Spielberg is rightly being ignored here, but Duel felt like a pretty darn good movie at the time.
