The Elephant Man (1980)
Another David Lynch masterpiece. More straight forward than most of his work, but still brimming with his incomparable style. Merrick story has always been close to my heart - I saw a wonderful stage adaption when I was very young - and this version more than did him justice. Quite possibly Lynch's most touching and emotional work, and one of his best without a doubt.

There's an annual movie festival going on in a town not too far from me this weekend. Tonight I went and got to see Zombi 2 (1979) on the big screen.
And I have to say, you haven't seen the eye gouging scene or the zombie vs. shark scene until you've seen them projected at a height of 30 feet right in front of you.
