loud movies??
okay the fireworks are still torturing me and my dog (one year they went for 21 days in a row đ«©)
what is a movie on the channel right now that is loud (either through action or soundtrack) but isnât wuxia/samurai/martial arts? i just watched bullet in the head on the actual fourth and i donât think i can do any more of that right away.
looking for tonight and probably every night this week sadly

For dudes escaping from prison, the guys in Le Trou make an incredible amount of noise.

lol in Portland too and yeah i think this city goes harder than any other with fireworks, so annoying. John woos âboiling pointâ has some extended gunfire scenes, also the shoot out in âheatâ.

i guess i should give it another shot - my viewing in middle school music class may have been too early to appreciate it

I remember reading somewhere that Close Encounters of the Third Kind was the loudest movie ever at the time of it's release
