Get ready, Randy has picked another big one for us.  And he actually picked the first film by a celebrated director for once.  David Lynch's Eraserhead is such a desperately ambitious, risk-everything film that one is tempted to call it "groundbreaking" except for the fact that it's so unique in its vision and execution that you'd be hard pressed to name what it broke ground for.  Jack Nance plays Henry, newly saddled with his helpless, mutated, infant offspring and coming face to face with surreal visions and manifestations of his darkest fears and fantasies.  And there's a lady in the radiator.
