Phantom of the Paradise/YMMV


 * Ear Worm - "Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye", "The Hell Of It" and "Special to Me".
 * Not to mention "Somebody Super Like You" / "Life at Last"
 * "Faust" and "Upholstery"!
 * Okay, obviously every single song in the film.
 * It's borderline Villain Song: The Musical.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: Swan is a "boy genius" record producer with a fierce ego and a willingness to kill. Probably seemed funnier before Lana Clarkson's murder.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff - The movie has an intense fanbase in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and conventions are regularly held.
 * Furthurmore it played for 62 WEEKS STRAIGHT there when it first came out!
 * Moral Event Horizon: Subverted.
 * He openly states to Philbin that he abhors perfection in anybody but himself; he was very vain to begin with, wanting to commit suicide because he didn't want to grow old and lose his good looks; when the devil asks him if eternal youth is worth his soul he replies "What soul?". Swan was a complete monster all along. He's not above using people to get what he wants, and everybody is a tool for him to use and abuse.
 * The Woobie - Winslow. Just Winslow.
 * Especially pre-Phantomization. He's impossible not to want to hug and be friends with.
 * Woobie Destroyer of Worlds more like.
 * I always felt sorry for "the Juicy Fruits"; they're treated pretty badly throughout the film.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Beef.
 * Too Cool to Live: Beef!
