Mulholland Drive

#26 on Glenn's Top 100 Movie List

Mulholland Drive is a nice movie about a young aspiring actress who comes to Hollywood to make it big! It was made by the director of Walt Disney's Dune, and is really uplifting and fun. Ha ha, just kidding about all the nice stuff. This movie doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it does manage to create a complex tonal and emotional landscape. I'm not big on decoding symbolism or meaning in art - that junk is for science nerds, math nerds, and philosophy douchebags. If it doesn't make me feel something, then it fails, and Mulholland Drive takes me through a terrifying spectrum of emotion every time I watch it, so there.

Eraserhead

#80 on Glenn's Top 100 Movie List

Well, a lot of people spend a lot of time trying to figure out what the hell is going on in this fucking movie. The answer to me is I don't care about the story. It's just a tonal nightmare, filled with a lot of terrifying images that add up to an oppressive behemoth of a movie. Shouldn't that be the goal of a horror movie? I mean, it's way scarier than Halloween to me. The movie, not the holiday.
