The Big Sleep (1946)
Dark Passage (1947)
Key Largo (1948)

Blue Velvet is the perfect combination of Lynch working as a disciplined storyteller and conniving as an energetic madcap, inviting the viewer to step out of tasteful boundaries to discover cinematic gold just behind those white picket fences.
Martin Scorsese in Taxi Driver: instead of a passing background appearance, or a knowing, gimmicky cameo, Scorsese delivers a chilling monologue that delivers a huge impact - It’s unsettling, raw and adds a new layer of tension to the film #filmsky
