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?

@immatthewj Elephant may bowl you over; it’s gripping. Snowpiercer is a rollercoaster ride, a genre in which I think Bong Joon Ho excels. Get out the popcorn and hold on. I haven’t seen American dreamer, but I’m a big fan of Matt Dillon. And, I, too, am a current Peacock subscriber. I’ll throw it into negotiations with my wife.

Elephant is now on top of my short list.  It will be happening this week I am pretty sure.  As far as Matt Dillon, Haunted Heart (2024) actually has Matt Dillon as a main star of the movie, and it seems to be sort of intended to be a bit of an intense psychological thriller, but after watching American Dreamer (2022) last night, with Matt Dillon in a supporting role as Peter Dinklage’s (with Shirley Mac Laine as a costar) real estate agent, I thought that Dillon was better in the latter.  American Dreamer is a bit of a dark comedy, and imo this was Matt Dillon at his best (even in a supporting role) with his vocal inflections and the way he would annunciate certain words and the facial expressions (grimaces and such) that he would put on when he delivered his lines in excellent form.  (Danny Glover also had a smaller supporting role as a private detective that Matt Dillon arranged for Peter Dinklage, and he was quite good as well.  There were many laugh out loud moments in this one.)

I will watch the Elephant and the American Dreamer. I also should add Albino Alligator to the Matt Dillon list. Irresistible in my opinion.

WHY????????????? WHY WAS IT REMOVED????????????????????????

is someone so mentally sick and debilitated that having this removed make them feel less pain from their failed pathetic life?

The other two comments were equally on topic for the discussion, polite, and harmless. Perhaps too harmless.

I have had it with the moderation. (They/Tammy ignored my last 3 emails.)

This is the hill worth dying on as there are so many lowlife despicable acts here that ruin our civilized conversations. I don’t normally swear but I would for sure now.
