I think Mulholland Drive is his best movie, it's actually my favorite movie ever. The whole atmosphere of the movie, and the plot, and the acting, and everything - - - I simply love everything about it. I don't know how many times I've seen it, but I've seen it a lot of times.

But yeah, I agree with Atsonicpark that Highway, Mulholland and Inland in many ways are very similiar movies and that I'd like to see Lynch making something totally different. Anyway, I think Mulholland Drive is perfect as it is and I'd rather not see a sequel.

And yeah, The Straight Story is amazing.

I'm in the crowd that thinks Mulholland Drive is his best movie. Fucking masterpiece.

Inland Empire was scary.

I shit my pants when Laura Dern's character suddenly rushed up at the screen to see her face in bright light.

Oh and the ghost face near the end was creepy also.

Yes. Me too. I love Inland Empire, it's easily better than Lost Highway, which is really good but my least favorite of these multiple identities movies.

Inland Empire was just too long. I was watching it alone the first time and got too freaked and turned it off two hours in.

The next was with a girlfriend and she thought it was the worst thing ever. Definitely NOT a date movie. Didn't get laid that night. Shoulda put in something with George Clooney.

Derek 04.14.2010 03:26 PM

Haha I remember watching it with friends and they were bored shitless.

i'd like to see it, if it's well done

but please no more inland empires-- fucking snoozer.

i like laura dern but 3 more hours of her face with an open mouth in a non-porn situation i cannot take.

^Yeah, what he said.

There's not much to Inland. A girl wandering around an empty set for most of the movie. It was compelling to me, as a Lynch fan, but secretly I know it's awful...

Notice how Lynch avoids consumers.

Great thread.

Personally, I don't think it could be any worse than Inland Empire. I just wish he'd do something, y'know, DIFFERENT.. Inland, Mulholland, and Drive all felt like different versions of the same film.


Lost Highway pretty much was a Blue Velvet remake.
