Blue Velvet 1986
Thought about how Isabella Rossellini might have felt filming this. The dvd documentary (fantastic) included her talking about being at times embarrassed or worried how people might interpret the film.

A five-star movie marred by boomer misogyny. A male hero who’s affable and anti-authority but who’s had sex with an underage girl and who viciously strangles a woman on screen. Alllllll of this movie’s societal resentment is concentrated on one woman in a patriarchal health care system. The only other women in the film are sexually objectified. I’d like to be talking about the many, many things I loved about this—there’s lots to love—but that strangling scene is so explicitly anti-women, when the men running the system are causing exponentially more harm than one woman doctor.

The Hitcher 1986
A serial killer hitchhiker less in search of victims than in search of another killer. Turns out Breakdown meets Anton Chigurh is a combination I needed. Something even darkly romantic going on between the leads.
...There is a car crash stunt with two cars rolling in the same shot that made my jaw hit the floor. The final frames too. Watch at midnight.
Made me want to check out Spielberg’s Duel (1971).
