The Elephant Man (1980)
Another David Lynch masterpiece.
More straight forward than most of his work, but still brimming with his incomparable style. Merrick story has always been close to my heart - I saw a wonderful stage adaption when I was very young - and this version more than did him justice.
Quite possibly Lynch's most touching and emotional work, and one of his best without a doubt.
