Blue Velvet https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fd/Blue_Velvet_%281986%29.png Dir: David Lynch Genre: Thriller/Suspense, Mystery Year: 1986 When Blue Velvet was released in 1986, most people knew David Lynch as the guy who made Elephant Man (a relatively straightforward mainstream hit [we might even incorrectly call it "Oscar bait" if it were released now]) and Dune (a big budget flop that people incorrectly thought was trying to be the next Star Wars). Only a few understood that this is the dude who made a movie that featured this scene: So needless to say, Blue Velvet shocked just about everyone. It's a weird, abstract, disturbing mystery that challenges conventional filmmaking from the very opening scene. As is Lynch's signature characteristic, it's also absolutely beautiful looking and sounding, which only adds to its uncanniness. There's not a whole lot more I can say about it without giving it away, but if you have any interest in David Lynch or real arthouse cinema, this is required viewing. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
