1. The Straight Story
2. Blue Velvet
3. Wild At Heart
4. Eraserhead
5. haven't seen any of the others
I didn't see any of Lynch's films after Wild At Heart (until The Straight Story) not out of any intense dislike for the guy and his work but because in a way the films were getting to be like a nagging wife--a lot of "wow, aren't these people weird" over and over. Give me something besides a freak show for the sake of it. That's why I went to see The Straight Story. I wanted to see what Lynch could do with a G rated film and he nailed it. It was adult, interesting, funny and not overly sentimental, while still having a good amount of Lynch's quirkiness. The scene in the bar with the guilt-ridden World War II vet was especially riveting.
I'm willing to check out some of Lynch's other post-Wild At Heart films if they're not just remakes of Blue Velvet. Any suggestions?
