My 150 Favorite Movies - #140
Something Wild (1986)
Something Wild starts off with a bang - a spirited rendition of Loco de Amor by David Byrne and Celia Cruz ("like a pizza in the rain/loco de amor/no one wants to take you home..."), while the Manhattan skyline seems to float majestically by. Melanie Griffith as the wild thing of the title has never been or looked better. One of the best films of the 1980's, Jonathan Demme directed, and did his best feature work with this film, IMHO. This movie has been written widely about on the internet, particularly well here and here.
