Movies Favourite David Lynch Film?

[GoodBadHBK]

Honestly never really seen his films, guess I'm not on the level of brilliance to enjoy them but I have seen Eraserhead and will check out a few here.

Twin peaks will always be his best and most memorable work

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Kinda bizarre to say this, for the hundreds if not over a thousand of movies I've seen over the years I've never seen a David Lynch film, even by accident.

 

[LEWIS540]

....probably Blue Velvet.

 

[chill doggie]

I consider Twin Peaks: The Return an 18 hour movie and it’s my favorite.

 

[LEWIS540]

George Lucas tried to get him to do Return of the Jedi.......that would have been, erm, interesting?

 

[Osculater]

I never saw Twin peaks, so should I start watching it?

 

[Losfer Words]

Everything twin peaks is peak Lynch imo.

 

[Jackonfire]

Probably Blue Velvet. I don't think I had seen anything like it when I first saw it. I was in high school at the time.

Lost Highway, probably because I saw in theaters and has one of the best soundtracks ever.

You forgot a major one

I'll save you a trip to IMDb. Blue Velvet. Lynch movies aren't for everyone. Don't try and "get" it, don't obsess over every detail and figuring out every charter and motive.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Aww man, David Lynch died? Someone should make a RIP thread for him.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Where the fuck is Blue Velvet?

 

[Deleted member 110072]

Probably between Lost Highway and Mullholland Drive, I feel that was really Lynch operating at his very best having perfected his style and using it to tell really interesting dramatic stories.

Those two almost felt like mirror images of each other.

You pretty much have to research all of his stuff to "get" it

A David lynch poll without blue velvet ?

I believe The Elephant Man is a must view for any/every child age 10-13. I felt that way in the 80s growing up and I think it is just as if not more important today.

Admittedly it is not a classic Lynch style and many other directors could have pulled it off, Twin Peaks the original 2 seasons would be my choice but no way Fire Walk With Me would be more of a fav than Elephant Man

I don't agree. I think my take away may and probably is different then yours. I get pretty deep into movies I like and sometimes reading fan theories and IMDb trivia detracts from the movie. Also if your not a fan it's like most cult movies if you go in expecting to be blown away or expecting to be wowed the movie rarely meets expectations

Personal note I was in german 1 in HS with my future brother in law and one of my future best friends, both whom I didn't know or like at that time. One of them brought in the lost highway soundtrack for the frau to translate Rammstein lyrics. She declared the music trash and refused to listen to any more
