An amazing film.

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2014)

I debate on whether or not this is my favorite film quite often. Right now it resides at the second spot on my Top 150 list. http://www.imdb.com/list/ls056382763/ In my opinion this is David Lynch's greatest work. I get called a Lynch fanboy quite often because of my fascination for almost all of his short films, television shows, feature films and even his music. But goddamn this man is a genius. A script and a story just waiting to be made into a Disney movie but put in the form of a dark twisted movie that still shows such happiness. Great acting from Anthony Hopkins, which is as to be expected but the performance from John Hurt, an actor who's filmography before 1979 is somewhat lackluster, is outstanding. He becomes John Merrick physically and emotionally and his performance is better than any I have ever viewed in a film. I don't know how to put in words the beauty of this movie, if you haven't seen it, GO NOW!!!
