Blue Velvet (1986) *****
Thirty-three years since its release, Blue Velvet (1986) is as mysterious, disturbing and darkly funny as it ever was. David Lynch's story of the dangerous goings-on beneath the surface of white picket fence life is gorgeously shot, pitch perfectly performed, and exquisitely captures the beauty that can exist in ugliness.
While BV didn't make it on the 2019 Edition of my Top 100 Films list (only because I didn't own a version at the time), it was on the 2014 Edition and you can be sure that it has a placeholder on the 2024 Edition. To quote from the film, it's a strange world, and ours is a better one for having Lynch's films in it.
