A bizarre offering from the mind of David Lynch. I'm still not sure if any of the characters are completely sane. In fact, I could make a strong case that there was some serious drug use going on during the writing and filming of this one. Still, this is one of those rare "Wow...( read more)
The beginning scene when Kyle MacLachlan finds an ear was a real eye opener to me. At that point I?d never seen anything like it, I certainly hadn?t seen a David Lyinch film before, so Blue Velvet really did feed my passion for cinema. For that I shall always be grateful. What a ...( read more)

Many consider this to be Lynch's true masterpiece and the cast is good, but it doesn't quite stand up to Eraserhead or Mulholland Dr. It's got the usual Lynch oddball mystery tone to it, plus Dennis Hopper's lunatic turn as Frank Booth, one of the most complex and threatening vil...( read more)
This film runs on a very flat level, meaning there never seems to be any elevated time of excitement, yet it somehow works. An enjoyable storyline with some great music and an unusual role for Dennis Hopper.
I really love David Lynch's style and his films are always amazing. Blue Velvet is one of my favorite films. It encompasses everything that I love about the movies. It has a great feel, it's so glossy and perfectly twisted. I love everything from the characters to the attack on s...( read more)
The most disturbing movie I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone would find this enjoyable...... It had well directing and acting..... but I still don't like the movie.
Definitely a classic thriller with a very good cast. Dennis Hopper gives his best performance of his career. The movie has a great feel to it, thanks to David Lynch's vision and visual style. The song "Blue Velvet" is also great. Overall this is a very unique and and very good movie
haven't watched yet but my friends says is one of the greatest films of american cinema, probably i should watch this wonderful film.
lol :)
Probably one of the greatest achievements in the history of American cinema, or cinema itself. A truly original masterpiece and one of the most distinctive and influential of all 1980s films.
Wonderful movie. Amazing, terrfying, disturbing and repulsive... yet unbelievably intriguing at the same time. I think I've watched the opening scene alone more than 100 times.
This is a fantastic film; a dark surrealist nightmare, and David Lynch's finest achievement. Goes on my top 10! It’s easy to see why this film is considered a dark masterpiece.
This is my favorite movie of all time.
Anyone else share the love?
