I watched "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 : Dream Warriors" last night because I had one scene in my head from the movie, and I had to watch the entire movie to get to it (because I am all about buildup). Anyway, here is my favorite scene from the movie, which a lot of people forget stars a young Patricia Arquette ...
Laurence "Morpheus" Fishburne is also in the movie. I watched the Nightmare on Elm Street movies over and over and over again while growing up. Now, when I watch them, I feel like I am watching home movies or something. I get a very nostalgic feeling, which is kind of creepy. ;)Also, the movie actually has a beautiful score, which Angelo Badalamenti did. He is famous for scoring most or maybe all of David Lynch's amazing movies.
I love David Lynch's weird movie, Lost Highway, which came out in 1997, I think. I remember going to watch it twice, once on a date at a normal movie theater, and then at a small arthouse-type theater near UT campus. I still can't really tell you what the movie is about, but it has some of the best scenes that make it all OK. You can draw your own conclusions about what it all means. I like to think that Bill Pullman will forever be punished for killing Patricia Arquette, even if he psychologically throws himself into a parallel universe where he has someone else's identity(Balthazar Getty's identity to be exact). Robert Blake plays a character I like to call "Death" in the movie. 5 years after the movie came out, he was arrested for murdering his wife. However, I don't think they ever proved it.
Here is the trailer on Youtube ...
The movie is still not available in a widescreen DVD(it's only available in a Pan and Scan format, which I hate), but it is easy to get the soundtrack, which is the best part of the movie. Trent Reznor did the soundtrack, with help from Marilyn Manson, Billy Corgan, and the amazing Angelo Badalamenti(who appears on all of David Lynch's movies' soundtracks). My favorite parts of the soundtrack are the instrumental/strings parts and hard to notice gems like Patricia Arquette saying "You'll never have me" at the beginning of Marilyn Manson's Apple of Sodom.
And here is another song that is played when Patricia Arquette and Balthazar Getty make love on the beach ...
The City of Absurdity: David Lynch's Lost Highway is a cool website with lots of information on this movie, and lots of pictures.
