Everybody loves good cinematography but sound is half the movie. The eye draws us out while the ears draw us in. I found the task to be rather daunting when it came to trying to decide on only one film that could be counted as a film with remarkable sound design, therefore I decided to write about four separate films that continue to hold their ground as being the most advanced and stimulating of their time.
