That one is easy for me and I do not intend to rewatch the film this time. I remember it quite well, too. 1. Silencio CLub and that's it. All the other scenes are in my opinion so much worse that I will not vote for them

3. Adam catches his wife in bed with Billy Ray "Achey Breaky Heart" Cyrus aka Gene Clean
4. Betty disappears, Diane wakes up
5. Dan and Herb at Winkie's I love this entire movie, every scene. So beautiful, so intriguing.

1. The "Love" Scene...angelo's music in this scene really takes it to the proverbial next level. 2. Club Silencio 3. The Cowboy 4. The dinner party...Dianne's meltdown in particular. 5. The ending...scared the you know what out of me the first time I saw it.

1. Dan and Herb in and around Winkies. Quite possibly my favourite scene, ever, in any movie, play, novel or any other artform. 2. The whole scene with Adam, the Castigliane Bros and the Espresso. Theroux is so watchable in this scene: "WHAT'S. THE PHOTO. FOR?" Not to mention, it's the first time that my name is spoken in the movie! 3. Adam's meeting with The Cowboy. How can something so unusual seem so natural? 4. This is kinda cheating,. but I LOVE the contrast between the rehearsal Betty does with Rita and the way she delivers the same scene at the audition. When she's with Rita, she really emphasises her contempt for the script, but when she does the audition, it seems like we are being allowed to view one of the greatest auditions in history. So I'll name the audition scene as my No. 4, but it's difficult to talk about that scene without acknowledging the previous one between Rita and Betty. 5. The theft of the Black Book. Suddenly, it feels like we are watching a Tarantino movie and yet...the scene sits so well with the rest of the film. It's astonishing how DL achieves this, and I still don't really understand how he was able to, but the scene is brilliant, and hilarious. "Come on man! I'm serious about this! I can't do everything by myself, man!!!"
Has he taken his eyes off it yet?

I completely agree with you, the scene of Betty's audition is so great because of the previous one... In the first one we see a not very good actress, with more illusion than talent, but later she's revealed as an awesome one, leaving everyone (those in the room and us as an audience) impressed... That's also the first moment in the film where you realize how wonderful Naomi Watts is on it... It's sort of a Betty/Naomi revelation... BOB1, some day you'll watch this film again and you'll love it...

I know what you mean about the scenes that mirror eachother, I had they same problem with the deja vu limo rides. I say these instances should count as one. They're inseperable.

I don't know. Love the scenes and all, it's just that bad vibe I get from the hollywood people mixed with that scorching performance of Naomi Watts get to me sometimes. He sort of "plays" with her, it all looks like their little girl-finding routine. And it contrasts so starkly with her first rendition! So what I am trying to say is that though these scenes were both bad in themselves (on purpose) I thought they worked good because precisely of DL's magic hand. Other scenes would include Theroux seeing pink, Club Silencio, the fat lady getting plugged through the wall, I don't know, it's been a while now. The finding of Diane's body is also one creepy discovery, you can almost SMELL the decayed body in that room, *shivers* Oh I like it in the beginning when we see Betty, dizzy from that accident, disappearing into the darkness: so iconic of DL. This film is a must and I have to get it...

So true - but I guess that's partly what I love about the scene. The other actor is doing his creepy casting-couch routine, but at the end, he has to basically admit that she's a better actor than he is - she ends up completely controlling the pace of the audition. Certain themes come through in that scene that we saw again in INLAND EMPIRE, in my view.

I love how the director isn't really paying much attention. How he says "Don't play it for real until it gets real" and everyone in the room is stunned for a moment... And that actor, OMG, "Dad's best friend goes to work"?? Wonderful scene...

I've always thought that Lynch could be poking fun at himself in that scene. Loads of actors love working with him, but most are also happy to point out that a lot his directions are utterly vague - like Watts talking on the MD DVD Extras: "he'll just say 'she's STRUNG OUT!!'". Or Cage talking about Wild at Heart: "he would shout 'more Elvis!'"
And the whole bit about waiting for it to "get real" sounds a lot like his comments about good actors "making it real from a deep place". I think he took this kind of self-parody even further in INLAND EMPIRE

1. Club Silencio (interestingly my dad loves this movie, and he thinks this is the worst scene... weird) 2. The audition scene. 3. The whole dinner party scene, starting from the wonderful moment when Diane arrives and Camilla takes her up to the house, and going till the end of that scene... great scene, there are so many different emotions there. 4. The scene where Adam is auditioning the singers and he sees Betty... love this scene! Great music too. 5. The very ending with the shots of the two girls in the sky, and "Silencio". This was really hard... there were so many other scenes I wanted to put here... the love scene, the diner scene where the bum appears for the first time, the sequence where they find Diane's body, the opening... and many others, but unfortunately I can't include them all... what a great movie. Just about every scene is a high point for me.

Rita jealous of Betty and Adam "acting" in the car.

But Gordon you see... thing is I've watched this film several times (four? not sure).
The scene you complimented so much (AUDITION) is a typical case of what I have against that film. It's really a very entertaining scene and all that you say about how well it is acted, and how it works on emotions - all of this I agree with and I appreciate it. So of course I like this scene. But my feeling remains that this scene is shallow. It is supposed to impress the viewer, and it does, but it leaves me with nothing else. It doesn't carry anything which could move anything in me, evoke my thoughts or make me feel uneasy or make me look at anything from a different perspective. Obviously not every scene always has to do it. The audition scene could be a jewel in the crown and one of the best moments of any film, on condition that the rest of the movie carries along that something which I cannot find in this scene. But in Mulholland Drive it doesn't happen. Once Booth said that while other Lynch films are like paintings, Mulholland Drive is like a laminated postcard. I'm not sure what he meant there, perhaps only the visual side (which however I like in Mulholland). Anyway, for me that comparison works very well, too, because I fell that Mulholland Drive looks very good but lacks depth. Some moments are more interesting for me, especially where we see Diane and her misery and frustration but unfortunately I am quite unable to identify with her character at all, so she tends to leave me unmoved. Ah, what I like perhaps more is the Every Little Star scene, because I find that it shows in a very suggestive and creative manner how jealousy can work...yeah, that scene is very good and I'll place it on my list after all. The Cowboy and Winkie's are very abstract scenes but for no apparent reasons they don't seem too match my sensibility or something... I appreciate them but I can't say I liek them. Other than that it's only Silencio - which totally amazes me. It depicts illusion and losing illusions in the most powerful way I have ever seen, it is very well set in the main plotline, yet remains absolutely universal and abstract. 1. Silencio 2. 3. 4. 5. Every Little Star.

How is the audition taking place over the Diane blowing her brains out being chased by sadistic old people? Audition...SCHMAUDITION!

The old people scene is one of my least favoirte scenes in the movie... though it isn't inferior enough to make the movie much worse than it would be without it, or ruin the otherwise beautiful ending, it just seems out of place and unoriginal, compared to what's come before it... I like the suicide, with the blue lights, smoke effects, and the head of the monster behind Winkies, but the old people coming under the door is just silly rather than creepy. On the other hand the audition is one of the most breathtaking and astonishing scenes I've ever seen... Lynch is smart enough just to rely on the power of performance in that moment. I'm glad the old people didn't make it to the top 5.

1.) club silencio scene 2.) the end after Diane shoots herself, with the two faces of Diane&Camilla that appears and the blue haired woman that says silencio 3.) the film set, where Diane sees Adam the first time in her dream, but especially for the music, every little star and the atmosphere around 4.) Betty&Camilla that are discovering the dead body, great background sound with this scene 5.) the man at winkies who talks about his dream
