The Elephant Man
100
A Victorian surgeon rescues a grotesquely disfigured man from a carnival sideshow and discovers behind the monstrous exterior a person of extraordinary intelligence and gentleness.
Why watch: Eight Oscar nominations. Lynch's follow-up to Eraserhead became a commercial and critical sensation.
