Classic.

best scene in the movie.

Dean Stockwell reminds me of what James Dean would have been like in this role. I am a huge James Dean fan, and I see a strong resemblance. Very strong. Amazing.

what movie is this !!!!!
-
Such a talented actor. Great performance along with Long Day's Journey Into Night, Rapture, Paris, Texas & Married to the Mob. Also screentested for Michael Corleone in The Godfather but lost out to Pacino. He deserves an Honorary Oscar.

@spitt001 so true and well explained. Cheers!

@spitt001 It is implied Frank has a strong emotional connection to his mother, as well as sexual. The implication is that his mother wore 'Blue Velvet' which explains his attachment to the song, as well as exploiting Dorothy via kidnapping to act as a 'symbolic' mother and wear the blue velvet dress. Part of his motivation for kidnapping is depriving another boy of his mother, just like Frank experienced. What you said is valid as well. It's David Lynch, and offers infinte interpretation.
"Holy shit, you are so FUCKING suave!"

For a long time I tried to figure out what is going on in this scene. It's obvious that "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison is Frank Booth's (Dennis Hopper's character) favorite song (he carries it around in his pocket). The song evokes in Frank thoughts and feelings of beauty and love. He wants those things desperately, but knows he will never have them in his dark existence, and it drives him mad.
