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?

@gano , momentarily back to Matt Dillon, did you enjoy Crash (2004)?  That movie turned into another one of my Matt Dillon favorites. I thought that the casting was quite good, which included Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Tony Danza, Jennifer Esposito, William Fichtner (who is an actor I really like), Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Michael Pena, Ryan Phillippa. . . .

As we were discussing Phil Spector and Rebecca Pidgeon's roles several posts ago, here is something you may enjoy--her doing a live cover of Spanish Harlem:

@immathewj yes, I like the Crash. Saw it a few times. It's a bit different 20 years later, a bit simplistic and doesn't give me as much hope as it used to. We need more movies and discussion about the subject and progress maybe?

I found Matt Dillon to be quite believable in his portrayal of a police officer.

I know this is a touchy subject so I'll let this be the last I say on it.

@nonoise , @gano , and you have been discussing it and sharing your disagreements in a civil manner.  

yes, he was. He can play the scumbag and the nice guy in one person like very few. 

Also: Wild Things. Something was off in that movie. It was a great script, great casting, enjoyable pace and suspense but I never loved it. I guess too many stars don’t work for me, in general

 

On the Crash subject. One of Them Days. Delightful. Predictable in a disturbing way. Funny and said and touching.
