How is Babe Ruth Babe Ruth?!?!?

I sometimes like cold. It's just not...whatever makes Do the Right Thing Do the Right Thing, or makes "Maggie May" "Maggie May," or makes Babe Ruth Babe Ruth. I can't quite put it into words.
― clemenza,
I get you what you said, but Mulholland Dr. is suffused with anything. It's like Bowie performing "Stay" or "Word on a Wing" -- he's so mannered to keep from collapsing into a blubbering mess -- which I am, by the way, in the last 20 mins of Mulholland Dr

One time I saw Lynch do a Q&A hosted by Justin Theroux at the Kennedy Center when he was promoting his book on transcendental meditation. Theroux was reading questions from the audience, one of which was by a guy called "Spidey." Lynch goes into his TM spiel, then stops mid-sentence and asks Theroux "What did you say this guy's name was?"Spidey.""SPIDEY?!""Yes, Spidey." And then Lynch continued with whatever he was saying previously. Anyway, I'll never forget him saying "SPIDEY?""

To play with your "Maggie May" analogy, the last 20 mins of MD consist of the Naomi Watts character singing WAKE UP AH THINK AH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOUUU to Laura Harring.

(Serious answer for Babe Ruth: overflowing with joie de vivre, personality, larger-than-lifeness, etc.)
Tipsy's translation works for me: a layer of distance. Or something. Anyway, that's me: if you love any or all of the Top 4, I'm sure that makes no sense for you.

Another illustration of what I was trying to get at above: the difference between Boogie Nights and Phantom Thread. I love the former and was left cold by the latter; someone else, entirely the reverse. But either way, the difference between them is stark.
