Partially shot in El Paso County, Wild at Heart is an unhinged road trip romance depicting all the violence and the surrealism expected of a film by the late David Lynch. Lovers Sailor (Cage) and Lula (Dern) embark on love-on-the-run as they flee from a troubled past and hitman Bobby Peru (Dafoe) in hot pursuit. A memorable cast of strange, offbeat and disturbing characters shape a dreamlike version of America that only Lynch could portray. From Cage singing Elvis to Chris Isaak’s lingering Wicked Game, the chaotic energy is enhanced by an eclectic soundtrack that also includes opera and heavy metal. Unpredictable and unforgettable, this film takes viewers on a raw and surrealistic journey of romance, danger and crime. — Keri Moe
