Wild at Heart.
Brief justification: Oh my goodness. I'm not a huge Lynch fan by any means (I deplored Mulholland Drive when I saw it in theaters), but this film just blew my mind. I love all of it, the characters, the tone of the movie, the dreamy asides (and references to the Wizard of Oz). The hot sex and Laura Dern's voice screaming "SAILOR!!!" Nicholas Cage's best Elvis impression. Hot. Cigarettes and car rides baby, I'm all about it. I don't smoke and I wanted to smoke during this movie (all that great subliminal referencing to lighting the cigarettes). This is a whomping trashy fairytale. The tone is just right (I tend to not like Lynch when he takes himself too seriously). Whew. I'm done now. I am.
