A gruesome discovery of a human ear leads a young Kyle MacLachlan on a dangerous journey into the sinister underworld that exists in his all-American hometown. From there the simple setup blooms into the ultimate story of good and evil, an erotically-charged, intensely disturbing exploration of the dark underbelly of the soul. One of the most shattering cinematic experiences of the ‘80s, Blue Velvet acts as a waking nightmare, a mesmerizing spiritual precursor to Twin Peaks, and showcases what a visionary auteur like David Lynch could do while making one of the wildest, most far-out films ever to be nominated for multiple Golden Globe Awards.

River’s Edge
A once-in-a-lifetime cinematic lightning bolt, River’s Edge packs enough raw power and high voltage attitude for a dozen teen movies. Charged with electric performances, haunting atmosphere, pitch black humor and a raging thrash soundtrack, it’s the perfect representation of a post-punk generation of disaffected youth. Winner of Independent Spirit Awards for Best Feature and Best Screenplay, the film follows a group of alienated high school burnouts and their reactions to discovering a friend has killed his girlfriend. But that’s just the starting point for a truly off-center character study populated by a completely over-the-edge Crispin Glover and a blowup-doll-loving, drug-damaged dealer unforgettably played by Dennis Hopper. Plus, see Keanu Reeves, Ione Sky, Daniel Roebuck, and Joshua John Miller in one of the best and boldest films of the decade.
