Lost Highway 1997
Some of this is definitely going to seem like it has nothing to do with this specific film, but I don't care. I finally got to watch this with Davin tonight for his first viewing.

A lot of movies have tackled that stranded theme, but it never quite hits like this, not unless you highlight…
