Blue Velvet: 25th Anniversary Edition

It’s one of the weirdest – and most rewarding – movie experiences you can have, only now it’s even more intense thanks to close to an hour of new ‘lost footage’ contained in this excellent 25^th anniversary blu-ray of the David Lynch classic. What’s Blue Velvet about? Words can hardly describe what you will see – let alone feel – when you watch it. It’s a dark mystery about a night club singer (Isabella Rossellini) being blackmailed by a deranged psychopath (Dennis Hopper) with a passion for listening to classic crooners and huffing oxygen while committing unspeakable acts of violence. Blue Velvet is also a sweetly innocent love story about a two crazy kids falling for each other as they try to unravel the mystery that starts when one of them (Kyle MacLachlan) finds a severed ear rotting in the weeds of an abandoned house lot. Like we said, words don’t do it justice, Just check out the Siskel & Ebert review on the extras. Even they don’t know how to describe what Lynch has created.
