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?

 

128x128bdp24

Hell Or High Water - Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine, Ben Foster 

Purple Rain - Prince.  The 1984 film "Purple Rain," starring Prince, won an Academy Award for Best Original Motion Picture Score and earned Prince three Grammy Awards, including Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special.

@nonoise ,

Interesting fact; Emmanuelle Seigner, who played 'The Girl' in the Ninth Gate is Roman Polanski's wife.

In the comedy category. "This is Spinal Tap" is as funny as it gets. And the pioneer  of the "Mocumentary" genre.

Colors - 1988 LA Gang Bangers

Good Will Hunting  - 1997 Genius Janitor 

Network - 1976 News Meltdown 

Rudy - 1993 Lesson in Perseverance

High Fidelity - 2000 Record Shop Rom Com

Lost In Translation - 2003 May/December Fascination

Dog Day Afternoon - 1975 Pacino "Attica"

I'll watch these, along with many others already mentioned, any time they're on


 

 

 

@flash56: For another great music mockumentary, check out The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash. It's a 1978 spoof on The Beatles, written and directed by Eric Idle of Monty Python. Idle plays McCartney, Neil Innes of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band plays Lennon (Innes wrote all the songs for the movie, great parodies of specific Beatles songs), and one-time Beach Boy Ricky Fataar plays Harrison. Also appearing are Harrison himself, Mick Jagger, Paul Simon, Ron Wood, and a bunch of the SNL cast (Lorne Michaels produced the movie).
