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 
).
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?
Was Jeff Daniels in Rancho Deluxe? I remember when I was in my teens and growing up in Montana, Rancho and Thunderbolt And Lightfoot were both popular movies there because I think both were filmed in Montana. (I know that quite a bit of Thunderbolt was filmed in Great Falls.) Neither one of them did much for me at that tender age, and now I am afraid that they do even less. |
@immatthewj Matt Damon can be pretty powerful. So is Pacino. I was very pleasantly surprised with goofy old Ted Danson in Man on the Inside. One of the best performances ever, he is the coolest! |
Here are a couple of more that I enjoyed and may not be super well known. I liked them because they both portrayed a gritty story that seemed believable to me, and although there were no superstars of the acting world, I thought that the actors that were cast did an okay job of coming off as realistic, Winter’s Bone (a google says 2010) did feature Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Dale Dickey . . . and was set in the Ozarks and involved a situational crisis related to poverty in the meth belt. I didn’t think Wind River was as good, but it was still quite watchable for me. Set on The Wind River Indian Reservation of Wyoming (which is no doubt partly the reason I enjoyed it--I could relate to the setting) it was a tale that revolved around the murder of a Native American woman. (I just did a google and see that it was a 2017 Taylor Sheridan Movie which doesn’t really win any points from me, as I cannot stand Yellowstone.) Anyway, it featured Jeremy Renner who came off a bit bigger than life, but I guess you gotta have that with Taylor Sheridan, and in my opinion he did not ruin the movie. Also featured were Elizabeth Olsen and Gil Birmingham. |
