I don’t think anyone’s mentioned this one yet, it came on TV last night much to my delight–the 1986 Jonathan Demme film Something Wild. There’s a lot of individual elements which I love–actors, locations, sets, cameos, props, costumes, music (oy, the music!)–but what I love most about it is the very fact that I don’t know how to describe why I love it so much. It isn’t any type of movie, it’s like every type of movie according to the situation. It cannot be pinned-down. It just has this je ne sais quoi about it that is really unique. It had a decent budget, but it still has this raw quality to it. I dunno, how would you describe it?
