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?

Watched "Cinderella Man" recently. I was pleasantly surprised. Great cast...Russell Crowe, Renee Zelwegger, Paul Giomotti......who is really a great actor.

I have always been confused by the Power Dynamic in Georgian England at the time of the American Revolution.  The King did have the power to appoint and dismiss Prime Ministers and ultimately had to sign off on most decrees.  Monarchs such as Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II basically rubber stamped the Parliamentary decrees but not George III.  He was known to have been particularly, and personally, incensed by actions such as the Boston Tea Party and was determined to make the colonies bend to his will.  He was opposed by Conservatives such as Burke but the Kings opinion had great value with Parliament at that time

Fav Western....McCabe & Mrs. Miller ...

A look at what that era was likely more to have been....gritty, dark, dank, full of men mostly hanging on by knotted bootstraps with the occasional near-psychotic gunslinger with nothing and no one to stop him....

You want to go back to that time and places?
Here's the time machine....I won't expect it to return....or you.
