In the TV series, Laura Palmer is a mysterious and haunting presence. It's a good thing David Lynch directed "Fire Walk With Me" because in it we can see the complex human being behind the murdered girl. Sheryl Lee is absolutely brilliant and Ray Wise is terrifying - as it should be.

Dogfight 1991
This film is so underrated! It is both as a love story and a commentary on militarism and masculinity. Lili Taylor is great as this shy, sensitive and bright young woman and manages to give dignity to her character even in the face of humiliation.

Set in the early stages of the Vietnam War, the film discusses pacifism, anti-war sentiment, hegemonic masculinity, love and loss. A real gem.
