Lost Highway

David Lynch · 1997

David Lynch's first film after Twin Peaks follows Bill Pullman's jazz musician, arrested for a murder he cannot account for, who inexplicably becomes a different young man midway through. Written with novelist Barry Gifford and shot by Peter Deming in near-total darkness, it was a box-office failure on release that has since built a devoted following willing to sit with a story that refuses to resolve.

Scarface

Brian De Palma · 1983

Brian De Palma's 1983 remake of Howard Hawks' original relocates the story to Miami's 1980 Mariel boatlift, with Oliver Stone's screenplay tracking a Cuban refugee's rise through the cocaine trade under Al Pacino at his most excessive. Giorgio Moroder's synthesizer score and a mansion-siege finale that a visiting Steven Spielberg helped shoot gave the film an afterlife in pop culture far larger than its mixed initial reviews suggested.
