25 Best Movies Of The Decade: 22

"What are you doing? We don't stop here."

22. Mulholland Drive(2001)

Do not ask me what this movie is about. I do not know what this movie is about. There's an amnesia plotline, Billy Ray Cyrus is in it, there's some kind of crazy burnt face lady that's really scary and Naomi Watts makes some sweet love to another woman for like the last half hour of the film. It's a mind fuck.

But like most of David Lynch's works, it's a beautiful mind fuck. It leads you down paths that make no sense and nothing is ever solved because life is weird sometimes or whatever. It's in this expression of surrealism that Lynch's oeuvre always manifests, creating dreamlike worlds out of realistic settings. Always deeply disturbing, always entrancing.

Don't...don't actually ask me to explain anything about David Lynch's films.
