When he cast her as Laura‘s mom in Wild at Heart it felt like the world then really understood her brilliance." variety.com/2025/film/ob...
neutral · AI labelView post →Any other WILD AT HEART fans around here? God what a movie. Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern both at their absolute peak. It was my first Lynch film—I saw it at Dobie theater in Austin opening weekend—and it blew my damn mind, I remember it like it was yesterday.
positive · AI labelView post →Recently my family was away for the weekend and I had myself a big ol physical media film festival for one. Over two days I watched Thief, Slacker, Singin In The Rain, The Piano, Malcolm X, Near Dark and Wild At Heart. That was one great freaking weekend.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm baffled by Roger Ebert's love for Mulholland Drive. He gave it 4 stars and said he "forgave" Lynch for Lost Highway and Wild At Heart because they were necessary to make Mulholland Drive I mean it's a good movie but I don't know what separated it to Ebert from those, other than hot girls kissing
neutral · AI labelView post →Ghanian poster for David Lynch's WILD AT HEART (1990) Even by the standards of posters out of Ghana, this one, uhm, take some liberties with the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie: David Lynch’s WILD AT HEART, one of the few movies I actually own on physical media because it’s not available on any streaming platforms. And at the moment, no streaming platforms are available at my house. This is a seriously strange movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie recommendation for tonight, Wild at Heart I'm in a Lynch mood for reasons, so Nic Cage, Laura Dern, and Willem Dafoe star in what I think is one of David Lynch's best.
positive · AI labelView post →I saw a preview of the TWIN PEAKS pilot at the Museum of Broadcasting in Mar, 1990 as an NYU film school student and it changed my life. WILD AT HEART, FWWM, LOST HIGHWAY, THE STRAIGHT STORY, and MULHOLLAND DRIVE were all opening night watches, but TWIN PEAKS is in my soul. Thank you, David Lynch.
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s no movie that’s more RGG coded than the part in Wild at Heart where Nic Cage and Laura Dern are dancing in the club, then they get in a fist fight with some goons, then the band hands Nic Cage a mic and he immediately starts doing Karaoke
neutral · AI labelView post →If I want to watch Wicked 1 & 2 with the original movie what order should I do it in? I’ve seen this suggested as the simplest: Wild at Heart Wicked 1 Wicked 2 But I think mixing it up more could work?
neutral · AI labelView post →I had a wonderfully weird neighbourhood friend when I was a teenager that LOVED movies. The quintessential movie nerd. Looking back now, it's wild the flicks he'd seen considering we were like 13 years old. He showed me Wild at Heart one summer, that was my introduction to Lynch. We lost a legend.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve never seen Wild at Heart and it’s not on any streaming services here, so the other day I asked for it at my public library. The assistant who helped me was thrilled—she was the one who’d ordered it for their DVD collection because it’s her favorite David Lynch movie. Libraries are good.

neutral · AI labelView post →Laura Dern was in one film that received the Palme d’Or at Cannes… Wild at Heart (1990) directed by David Lynch (based on the 1989 novel)
neutral · AI labelView post →So many tributes to David Lynch and I haven’t seen many mention Wild at Heart! I saw it at a screening and every delirious and passionate minute of it is burned into my brain. Tied for best ever use of Richard Strauss in a movie. youtu.be/JHNEL1H5_b0?...
positive · AI labelView post →Conventional wisdom says the book is always better than the movie, but that's not always true. Here are some movies I liked better than the books they're based on. What are yours? • Fight Club • Naked Lunch • Wild at Heart • Institute Benjamenta • Devil in a Blue Dress • Picnic at Hanging Rock
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching WILD AT HEART (1990). Director: David Lynch. Nicholas Cage, Laura Dern. Lynch's offbeat romance offers road movie w/ forbidden love, numerous weirdos, & a few assassins. Dern's real mom, Diane Ladd, scored Oscar nom as mother who'll do anything to break up young lovers. #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Criterion November releases are so sick. Marie Antoinette is inspired, a transcendent film. Wild at Heart means the only David Lynch features not in the Collection are Dune and The Straight Story, safe to assume a box set is coming. Harold and Maude had been OOP for a few years, now back in 4K.

positive · AI labelView post →Diane Ladd 😔 Ballsy & extraordinary, RIP 11/29/1935-11/3/2025 Laura Dern's mother. Made history being only mom/daughter pair to get Oscar noms for same film, RAMBLING ROSE. Other noms: *Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (Flo) *Absolutely unhinged in Lynch's Wild at Heart #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Winner of the 1990 Palm d’Or, “Wild at Heart” is still not available to watch in its original version screened at Cannes and not currently streaming anywhere. One of the greatest movie theater experiences if they actually play the sound at the levels it’s supposed to be at. #DavidLynch
positive · AI labelView post →David Lynch's WILD AT HEART turns 35 today. I wrote for @southwestreview.bsky.social about its desperado existentialism and deep-fried soul—and of carnal sex, film noir, Lynch, and the snakeskin Americana of literary giant/ WILD AT HEART author Barry Gifford. southwestreview.com/volume-109-n...
neutral · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Wild at Heart boxd.it/aq7ktv Saga of Sailor & Lulu always wins me over in unlikliest of ways. Not for macabre humor, offbeat violence, or inherent strangeness (although these don't hurt), no. Heart swoons when Cage croons. With he & Dern, romance is alive & unwell. #filmsky 📽

negative · AI labelView post →On Friday, I'm visiting my ancestral homeland (New Jersey) for a special screening of Wild at Heart in Maplewood, NJ. I'll be discussing the film with Lynch's longtime cinematographer, Frederick Elmes. Very excited for this. If you live in the area, you should come. Tickets here:

neutral · AI labelView post →All this David Lynch mourning, and almost no encomia for Wild at Heart? Hmph! It's okay to watch a fun movie of reasonable length that almost makes sense, you know.
positive · AI labelView post →Last year I wrote for @southwestreview.bsky.social about the desperado existentialism of David Lynch’s WILD AT HEART, and about the crucial art of conversation that the film has with THE WIZARD OF OZ, sex, noir, and the works of crime author Barry Gifford. southwestreview.com/volume-109-n...

neutral · AI labelView post →Going to be impossible to choose what David Lynch film to fire up first after today's awful news. My favorite is probably Wild At Heart. Just hit me at the right time as a film fan. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →My handle “wildeatheart” is a pun on the David Lynch film Wild At Heart, but like Oscar Wilde. Wild At Heart is one of my favorite movies. David Lynch’s work has meant so much to me. I’m beyond words.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Wild at Heart last night after god knows how many years. I was surprised to learn it hadn't been a box office success. I don't know ANYBODY who doesn't love that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →#CineMusic24 #MusicChallenge 4/23 Movie - Wild At Heart (1990) Director: David Lynch My favorite Nicolas Cage movie and a fantastic/crazy love story. A still young David Lynch taking chances and spinning a wild yarn. Willem Defoe is a maniac in this one and I love it

neutral · AI labelView post →WILD AT HEART, a lovers-on-the-run novella adapted to film by David Lynch, is one of those books that reads less like a taut narrative than a collection of quirky conversations. Sounds annoying, I know. But good writing washes away all sins, and Gifford’s characters won me over. Recommended.
neutral · AI labelView post →Apparently while they were filming Wild At Heart, Laura Dern told Nic Cage that she'd been offered a part in Jurassic Park but wasn't sure about saying yes, and Cage replied "you always say yes to the dinosaur movie". Which is a bananas statement because there hadn't ever been a good dinosaur movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Had a dream I was rewatching Wild at Heart to give David Lynch another shot. The movie turned out pretty boring. Then I looked at the cover and it was co-directed by Ray J and some other guy and I was like, I think this is the wrong movie.

positive · AI labelView post →Amazing news. When I did a seminar with Wild at Heart sound designer Randy Thom a couple of years ago I found out that pretty much all available versions of the film have big audio issues. Now David Lynch’s sound designer for several years, Dean Hurley, is helping restoring the iconic sound mix 🙏❤️💿
