The Top 5 List Thread

[CiG]

lmao.

Can't do a top 5 Lynch until I see Inland Empire and The Straight Story and buy and re-watch The Elephant Man.

 

[challenge_everything]

1. Mulholland Drive (top 5 movie ever for me)
2. Lost Highway
3. Twin Peaks: FWWM
4. Blue Velvet
5. Eraserhead

I too need to see Inland Empire.

What did everyone think about the new Twin Peaks series? I found it utterly maddening, frustrating, annoying and yet it hit peaks (no pun intended) never before reached by TV.

This pretty much sums up my feelings about it.

1) mulholland drive
(to clarify, as i watched it again pretty recently: some of the stuff that doesn't directly involve betty/diane is pretty goofy, but perhaps a suicidal, murderous woman needs a little levity in her dreams and movies. the meat of it, though... that close-up of their glowing, translucent faces over the cityscape at the end might be my favourite shot of all time (along with the one in PERFECT BLUE when that film's betty dances off across the lamp posts). watts' performance might be my favourite too, or at least the one whose tragedy haunts me the most)
2) FWWM
3) blue velvet
4) lost highway
5) wild at heart

2 and 4 need rewatches but that's where i'm at based on memory. 5 could easily be inland empire but i like showing wild at heart some love. i love the first season of twin peaks more than any of them, and haven't watched the new one yet.

Lynch:

1. Twin Peaks: Fire Wark With Me
2. Blue Velvet
3. Inland Empire
4. Dune
5. Mulholland Drive

Still haven't seen Eraserhead! Need to rewatch Wild at Heart, I saw it once as a kid and hated it but I didn't really get Lynch at the time.

Ever since I finished it, I've had countless dreams in which I was watching an episode 19, or a season 4... I think the extent to which the story has continued in my head is testament to how much that season of television impacted me. I hold it in roughly the same esteem I do the original run.

Interesting to see Dune in someone's top 5.

Top 5 John Candy films:

1. Planes, Trains and Automobiles
2. Uncle Buck
3.The Great Outdoors
4. Who's Harry Crumb?
5. Summer Rental

Obviously it's a total mess of a movie, and an awful adaptation, but any time the music swells and MacLachlan delivers some now-iconic line I feel like it's the most majestic thing I've ever seen.



Not even a 30-second clip, and even out of context, it gives me instant chills down the spine.

 

[no country for old wainds]

that’s the one lynch feature i still haven’t seen

 

[Onder]

Saw that a long time ago. Might revisit. I remember liking it.

 

[CiG]

Sad to think it had the potential to be the greatest space opera ever made.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the remake starts filming next year, although i'm not sure i trust villeneuve to get the best out of it.

 

[CiG]

He's at least in a better position than most people who direct a remake of a film considered to be a masterpiece, like this new Suspiria film coming out soon, or already is out.

People will go easier on him no doubt because the Lynch film is considered to be flawed and mired with problems.

 

[no country for old wainds]

oh yeah probably. i've seen almost every villeneuve movie and never fully connected to any of 'em though.

the suspiria remake is getting some huge raves from people i trust, i'm pretty excited about that. best to treat it as a separate film though by the sounds of it, very different from the original.

 

[CiG]

Honestly I was pretty sold by the trailer alone, hopefully it delivers.

looks good, curious to see if he tries to play with the lighting.
