1. My Favourite Film

“Mulholland Drive is all dream” (Roger Ebert).

Mulholland Drive is my favourite film because it epitomizes a worldview which continues to cast its influence on me to this day. In two and a half hours, Lynch tells a story in which fiction is truth and dreams are just as essential as reality. While the film is often characterized as bizarre and impenetrable, I believe Mulholland Drive may be one of the best attempts ever made to…

1974

How did not that much happen but also so much happen? How is the story both incredibly confusing but kind of straightforward? I think I just really want to hang out with these two...

West Side Story

1961

★★★★½ Watched

So this is in the same cinematic universe as Twin Peaks, right?
