Blue Velvet

David Lynch · 1986

David Lynch followed the disaster of Dune with a $6m film he was left almost entirely alone to make, trading a pay cut for final cut. Kyle MacLachlan's amateur sleuth spies on Isabella Rossellini's abused nightclub singer and runs into Dennis Hopper's Frank Booth, and the American town around them turns out to hide as much as either of them.

Sidney Lumet · 1976

Sidney Lumet's satire follows a failing network that builds a hit show around its anchor's on-air unravelling, with four Oscar-winning performances built almost entirely on monologue.
