I love how well The Elephant Man makes the picture look as if it were filmed during or shortly after Merrick's lifetime, I love the harrowing performances by Anthony Hopkins and of course the late John Hurt, and I love the fact that a movie of Joseph Merrick's intriguing and curious life was made, especially by a big-name director and with A-list actors, even if they did get his first name wrong. But I must defend one of my favorite movies and Spielberg's first or second most underrated film.
