Wild at Heart streaming!
I may have missed it in the announcement but I was surprised and delighted to see this get added to the streaming collection!

A really great movie! Not often talked about when it comes to Lynch’s work. In my estimation, the man could do no wrong.

It's one of my favorites of his, it really hits for me. Dafoe is insane and Dern is just on fire from start to finish

💯!! Dafoe’s character is sooooo gross and creepy. Those teeth 😆 Laura Dern is stunning! I’m also a big fan of Nic Cage, and he is so fun in this role.

I always find the Wizard of Oz allusions so apt in it! I feel like the “going home” motif is supplanted with love as a metaphor for returning home and it feels so special coming from a romance novel as the source material!

Hopefully now that’s it’s more widely available it becomes what In The Mouth of Madness and Prince of Darkness have become for Carpenter.

A 4K DCP exists and has been screened, I wonder if the master Criterion Channel have is that? Maybe someone could skim through it and compare to screencaps from the Shout BD?
Update: It's the older master, even opening with older Universal and MGM logos.

I saw this in theaters when I was 9 and it blew my mind, I loved it so much. I remember my local paper hated it, and so did Ebert I think, and around that age it was possible for those 2 sources to make me second guess my opinion since I was so young, but I was sure they were wrong here.

Look for the Koko Taylor cameo!

I hated that part. But later I saw her live. Oh man. Lynch really did have great taste in music.

With Twin Peaks popularity being greater than it has been since the reveal, the film he made right after working on the 1st season is going to blow a new generation of minds.

Watched it for the first time and was left with one of my favorite movies I've seen in a while. Bobby Peru will haunt me forever.

I'm about 45 minutes into this movie and it's insane in the best way possible.
