Decade: 1970's, baby!
I have no idea why we aren't all constantly talking about Phantom of the Paradise (1974).
Written and directed by Brian DePalma, starring and with songs by Paul Williams, it's a 70's-splosion take on Phantom of the Opera and Faust, with impressionistic and stylized art design and cinematography mixed with oddball performances and larger-than-life glam rock fantasy - it's a hell of a thing to watch (and hear).
For my music-aficionado pals and those of you who like something just amazingly, audaciously over the top - give it a shot.
