OK, we are a diverse group, and no doubt have watched a wide variety of films on DVD.

I watch quite a few DVD's, thanks to Netflix, and while most are pretty good, it is very, very rare that one completely blows me away.

This just happened with a flick I'd never heard of: "Sound City," by David Grohl, he previously of Nirvana, and recently Foo Fighters.

My friend brought it over; he had stumbled across it, due to the "suggested" feature on Netflix; he and I were very intrigued that it scored a perfect 100 by the reviewers.

Absolutely, completely awesome movie!

For baby boomers with an appreciation for music and its production over the last portion of the twentieth century, this film should be considered a must see.

No, "2001" features Hal, the digital computer.

"Sound City" features Rupert Neve and his brilliant, unmatchable creation, the all-analog Neve mixing / sound board.

I saw Sound City opening weekend in the theater when it came out last year. Interesting and informative. And Dave Grohl seems like a genuinely nice guy.

Still has to be "Kingpin"...nothing like the Greater Reno Open for excitement. As for this seldom seen nonsense, there usually is a reason. Kind of like the people who actually like "The English Patient".

Try it, I dare you find one, just one who will admit it. Total garbage, like the people who voted "12 years a slave" without even seeing the movie.

I thought "RUSH" was pretty good, but fell a little short of getting a "must see" rating from me. It is about F1 racing in the 80's and is based on the relationship of James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

Sound City was excellent - I like how the Foos played with all the people ewho made history in that recording studio one last time

If anyone knows a real good move, I would like to hear about it.

I have to have my dose of movies/TV. To wind down and relax with my girl. I find myself watching less movies, (I dislike most action movies nowadays, things like transformers) and more TV series Things like Breaking Bad, American horror stories or even Modern Family. TV series seem to be getting better over the last 10 years especially the Discovery and History channel, IMO.

They have a new series I like called Fargo a direct sequel to the movie, It's a dark comedy that has Billy Bob Thornton, Bob Odenkirk (Sol from breaking bad) Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins and DR Watson and many other credits)

In the middle of watching that Challenger Disaster Movie, quite a good watch. As a movie buff, my favourate this year has to be "Blue is the Warmest Color", and not because of the sex scenes, great invigorating flick. Zero Dark Thirty the best of 2013 or was 2012?
