| | ''[[Eraserhead]]'' (1977) - Another famous film, which is "a dream of dark and troubling things" (according to David Lynch, the director). The plot concerns Henry Spencer, a man living in an unnamed industrial wasteland. Upon learning that a past romance has resulted in an impending pregnancy, Henry agrees to wed mother-to-be Mary and moves her into his tiny, squalid flat. Their baby is born hideously mutated, a strange, reptilian creature whose piercing cries never cease. Mary soon flees in horror and disgust, leaving Henry to fall prey to the seduction of the girl across the hall. Some say the film portrays a [[pro-life]] message. The baby seems to be fractured and damaged. To date, David Lynch has refused to say a word about the film in any kind of public forum, preferring that viewers make up their own minds about what it all means. The only comment he’s made is on the 2000 DVD release of the film. He states that no one has come close to the true meaning of the film. This film is not recommended for children. | | ''[[Eraserhead]]'' (1977) - Another famous film, which is "a dream of dark and troubling things" (according to David Lynch, the director).
