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?

@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.

@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).

The other night I watched a dark one that was a comedy of sorts (it made me laugh a few times), Greedy People (2024).  

And speaking of dark and funny, Fat Man (2020) cracked me up.  Walton Goggins and Mel Gibson.  A spoiled rich kid gets a lump of coal for Christmas, so to get even he hires a hit man to bump off Santa.  Hilarious.
