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?

As a Clint Eastwood fan, I always liked "Bronco Billy".

Clint tells his girlfriend he’s been to prison and she asks "What for?"

Clint says "I shot my wife because I caught her in bed with another man."

She says "Why not shoot him?"

Clint says "He was my best friend!"

 

I watched The Revenant last night (my second viewing). Leonardo DiCaprio’s role must be the most physically demanding one I’ve ever seen! I found the film’s music subtle and effective.

I enjoyed The Revenant myself, @bdp24 , and theoretically it is based on a true story and in real life Glass supposedly let bygones be bygones.  I remember a reference to Colter (who I assume was the mountain man/trapper John Colter) (I remember when I was in grade school learning that Colter had spent some time in the area now known as Yellowstone National Park which had then been jokingly referred to as "Colter's Hell" because his stories about that area were viewed by some as outlandish).  After I watched that movie I tried to follow up on the Colter aspect, and I remember reading on the internet that this was one of the inaccuracies of The Revenant as John Colter was not present at the time and event depicted in the movie.  But despite that, I found it an enjoyable watch.
