O.C. and Stiggs (1985)
Not for the masses
This movie is not for the masses. In fact, it's probably not even suitable for a major cult following. But if you see it, you'll either like it or hate it. Major plot developments happen off camera, or while multiple people are talking. Very typical Robert Altman style, but definitely more off-beat since it is based on two characters from National Lampoon magazine. If you're the kind of person that needs to identify with and/or like at least one character in the movie, you may find yourself searching throughout the whole film. Don't expect a pause in the action to laugh, which, if this movie agrees with you, you'll be doing often as these two teenagers deal with a bad situation through harassment and booze.
Mulholland Dr. (2001)
Film is the wrong medium for this type of fecal art.
You will see reviews that praise this movie. You will see reviews that question what the movie was about. No matter what the review says, the question you should be asking yourself is "Why do I even care?"
Perhaps David Lynch is an artist. Some people praise human feces spread on a canvas as brilliant art. The best thing about that kind of art is that you can spend 2 seconds, 2 minutes, or 2 hours looking at it, deciding for yourself. Unfortunately, David Lynch gives you no such choice. Film is the wrong canvas for this type feces, since I just spent 2 hours (or whatever) of my life watching something that could've been delivered in a *maximum* of 20 minutes.
Brilliant!
