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?

Did Sam Rockwell dance in that movie?

If he did, @thecarpathian , I do not remember that part.

Did he have a famous dancing scene in another movie he was in, or was that a not serious question?  (I am not super familiar with most of his movies..)  Anyway, in The Way Way Back, Rockwell portrays the nonchalant cool guy role, a water park employee, who takes a teenager under his wing for the summer.  So you can probably tell where that movie was going. But there are a lot of heart warming moments for those of us who like having our hearts warmed, and as I typed, Steve Carrel's portrayal  of the controlling condescending a-hole  boyfriend of the teenager's mother was  what I found interesting.  

Speaking of Steve Carrel....check out Foxcatcher.

I totally agree, @slaw ! Foxcatcher was one of my previous picks. Besides Steve Carrel’s excellent portrayal of the increasingly unhinged heir to the Dupont family fortune, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum were good together as David and Mark Schultz (Olympic wrestlers). I didn’t know it until I googled it a while back ago, but the surviving brother, Mark Schultz, played a role in the movie as a weigh in official. But Steve Carrel was great in that one--he is versatile.

@immatthewj ,

Yes, it was a serious question.

I ask because I read an article that said he finds a way to dance in most movie's he's been in. He's quite good.
