If you like movies that work as dreams rather than narratives (meaning you’re in it for the experience, not the dramatic payoff), then don’t miss this conundrum from writer-director David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks). The ostensible plot follows an aspiring actress (Naomi Watts) who tries to help an amnesiac (Laura Elena Harring) recover her identity, but plenty of oddball asides are woven in. If not all of the weirdness is as compelling as Lynch seems to believe, Mulholland Drive still works like our wildest dreams: It may not make sense, but you’ll be fascinated the morning after.
