20 Best Movie Moments Of 2016

20. The Neon Demon – Catwalk Debut

Though Nicolas Winding Refn’s psychological horror The Neon Demon found a few fans in arthouse horror circles, a lot of people weren’t so taken with it. With scenes that include lesbian necrophilia and a gorgeous model consuming a regurgitated, cannibalised eyeball that’s perhaps not too surprising. But whether you loved it or hated it, The Neon Demon had an undeniably stylish quality to it and its catwalk scene is proof.

Featuring star Elle Fanning’s character Jesse, the catwalk scene sees her blossom (or perhaps devolve) from naïve ingénue to a full-fledged, narcissistic fashion model fully aware of the power her beauty has. It’s surreal, borderline pretentious, set to a weird Kraftwerk-esque score and crammed with enough triangular imagery to keep illuminati conspiracy theorists talking for years. But quite frankly it’s stunning.
