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)
A dark,disturbing slice of america.from the outside we all appear to live normal,mundane lives but when we close the doors and pull the curtains,normality ends.Set in a small town this film documents the lives of its inhabitants who look like angels but turn into demons during th...( 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.
Strange movie! This movie would great for a film student to study - things like the bugs at the very beginning of the film representing the low-life in Lumberton. Or the closeup on the dead ant-infested ear at the start of the movie, and then on Jeffery's ear at the end of the ...( read more)
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
This just in - David Lynch can now officially join my most over-rated director's club. Even though I knew this was a cult fave, my expectations were low after having seen "Wild at Heart" (the most over-rated movie of all time). I actually thought it was halfway decent, but the ...( read more)
Highly disturbing! But, very well directed. Also perfect casting of Hopper and Rossellini! Great film.
Psychologically disturbing but very well thought and directed by our friend Mr. Lynch. An American gem from the 80's, and potentially one of the most brilliant and clever thrillers of the modern era.
97/100
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?
