Imitation of Life
★★★★★ Watched

I was already a a fun of Douglas Sirk from the 4 films of his I'd seen.
But this right here is his masterpiece.
I cried, and I cried hard.

The Lure
★★★★½ Rewatched

Outright loved it this time.
Might even be 5 stars on the third watch.
Just my kind of movie.

The Cross and the Switchblade
★★★½ Watched

Proving great direction, impressive performances and a very matter of fact approach to its characters. "The Cross and the Switchblade" may be predictable and at times unintentionally corny, but it has its heart in the right place and will pose convincing arguments even to those who aren't christian.

The Elephant Man
★★★★★ Watched

Film #5 of the Scavenger Hunt Challenge
Task #14 A film by a director you've never seen any of their films before!

No, I haven't seen Blue Velvet, or Eraserhead, or Mulholland Drive. But I do plan on seeing Mulholland Drive by the end of the year, since I seem to see it on allot of Letterboxd users "Favourite Films" banner. This is my first David Lynch film.

The Elephant Man is quite possibly the saddest thing I have ever…
