The Conversation
1974 written & directed by Francis Ford Coppola

Watched it last night thanks to my girlfriend's Netflix que. An amazing film where sound + nerdy audio gear play a central role. I loved it! Check it out.

What other audio films fictional and otherwise are worth seeking out

fantastic planet comes to mind... as does 2001 by kubrik. imho, once upon a time in the west has the best character/soundtrack interplay ever. i'll probably catch some heat but i also like o' brother where art thou.

Imaginary Landscapes - Brian Eno doc.

Whale Music - Canadian classic, the studio in the film is known as the 'Beast' and constantly needs more 'torque'

Fugazi's Instrument.

i thought this was for movies with good soundtracks. if music dvds count... i'll second fugazi instrument. also there's a peter gabriel dvd from 1 or 2 tours ago that's incredible. led zepplin has a live concert double dvd that amazes me everytime i watch it.

Scratch DVD is well worth checking out, even just for the live footage of brain freeze
