Blue Velvet is a fantastic film and one that's probably in my top 10, and I mean my real top 10 and not the place holding Lynch one that I am currently using!
Unlike with most outstanding movies, Blue Velvet’s greatness is hard to describe. Sure, you can say it hosts incredible performances from the entire cast — especially Dennis Hopper and Isabella Rossellini — or that it has a lot of interesting motifs and beautifully symbolic imagery, but quite frankly that’s not just all it is. It’s something far beyond words. It’s something you feel. It has a power that holds on to you, and it doesn’t let go until long after you’ve seen the film.
This movie taught me what a "love-letter" is. Blue Velvet is amazing, might even sneak into my top 10 one day. +1
Hey guys, I'm back! I haven't been posting here lately because of an increased workload...though I'm sure you don't want to hear about that.
Anyway, I thought I'd finish of this list by posting my top 10 films. I've made some changes (for example, Wall-E was somewhere in the 40s on my original list but, having seen it again, it managed to crack my top 10).
Very much enjoyed reading your list Handyape. We have a few films in common, but i don't recall ever having seen your no.1 Nothing But A Man, I will hunt that one down. Thank you
Good luck with your studies too !
Ps I just read the soundtrack of your number 1. Sounds great. I went to see Martha Reeves just before Christmas
