Lost Highway 1997
Years ago this was my very first Lynch, and to this day it's easily my favorite. Aside from being a perfect nightmare noir mindfuck, harrowing, haunting and with lots of 90s angst, it taught me like no other movie ever that I don't need to fully understand art to enjoy a riveting ride in it.

The Crow 1994
What a dripping pitch-dark cinematic gift! An 80s revenge action movie dressed up in a grungy Halloween costume, with a haunted hero killing his way through a brooding hellhole of a nocturnal city that makes Gotham look like a summer vacation spot. Plus you're getting Michael Wincott's creepily charismatic villain, a strong emotional core, a perfectly moody soundtrack and Brandon Lee's skillful balance of violent vengeance and endearing vulnerability. How the hell did Alex Proyas not take over Batman after Tim Burton?!

The Return of Captain Invincible 1983
One of those completely wild oddities you can't fully believe someone made. And while the washed up has-been hero might even be ahead of its time, the whacky 1960s Batman humor and the musical approach are very much a product of it. Reliably switches between awkward and draggy and bold and genius even, the high points being surprisingly good looks and a singing Christopher Lee villain.

Enemy 2013
A slow-burning thriller and an artsy puzzle that boldly refuses to give you any answers and leaves you to read and discuss. After a deep dive into its interpretation I'm adding bonus points for its layered meaning, but also deducting some for its possibly purely meta moments.

Almanya: Welcome to Germany 2011
What starts off as an oddball culture comedy turns into a heartfelt and emotional story about identity, family and heritage that always feels deeply personal.
