A friend of mine first watched Twin Peaks via a download online, and when he got to Fire Walk With Me he'd heard it was pretty wild. Turns out the file had been improperly labelled and The Missing Pieces was just named Fire Walk With Me. So he watched this thinking that this is what Fire Walk With Me is, and I think that's just great.

His Motorbike, Her Island 1986
It just takes one line about how he always remembers things in monochrome to cast melancholy, beauty, and truth to every scene as it shifts between colour and b&w from moment to moment.

Memory is a beautiful and tragic thing, which Obayashi illuminates so wonderfully.
Fun, sweet, and full of love. Can't ask for more
