favorite david lynch movies?

i am the arm · 03.27.2006, 02:42 PM

Fire Walk With Me is where i got my screen name! here are my favorites...

1. Wild At Heart (his masterpiece, really underrated)
2. Blue Velvet (LET'S FUCK! I'LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES! Classic!)
3. Mulholland Drive (so much like a dream)
4. Fire Walk With Me (scariest movie i've ever seen)
5. Eraserhead (you've heard noise music, this is a noise MOVIE)
6. The Elephant Man (he has a knack for drama which he doesn't tap into enough)
7. The Short Films (The Grandmother... what the fuck??)
8. Lost Highway (i could never totally get into this one)

still have to see Dune and The Straight Story, and i can't wait for his new one, Inland Empire... the return of Laura Dern...

what are your favorite Lynch head trips?

1. blue velvet
2. eraserhead
3. mullholland drive
4.lost highway
5.fire walk with me
6.wild at heart (mainly cus i can't stand cage)
7.straight story
8.dune (terrible i thought)

yet to see elephant man

anyone seen his show 'on the air'? a comedy about tv in the 50s or 60s, I have it downloaded but havent got round to watching it. Apparently it was commissioned after the success of twin peaks but had little or no airtime

also downloaded a documentary called 'pretty as a picture' about him but again i havent watched it

Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, easy.

I think Lost Highway is absolutely brilliant. I've liked it more after repeated viewings. Lots of subtle clues to piece together.

My favorite Lynch's

Twin Peaks &
The Music for Twin Peaks (yes co-written with Angelo Badalamenti) later preformed by Julee Cruise. God how I love Julee Cruise.

xpresswaytoyrskull · 03.27.2006, 03:20 PM

BTW did you know there is a Lynch fan zine still in print called Wrapped In Plastic?

!@#$%! · 03.27.2006, 03:21 PM

oh hm errr hmmm wild at heart i loved but blue velvet i think is the better movie. i hate making lists btw. because of this reason.

chabib · 03.27.2006, 03:23 PM

my girlfriend is in a scene in his new film.

jon boy · 03.27.2006, 03:29 PM

well thats pretty cool.

i like wild at heart and i think lost highway is fucking great as well.

truncated · 03.27.2006, 03:31 PM

Blue Velvet is tops, for certain.

How'd she land that, chabib?

chabib · 03.27.2006, 03:37 PM

she was eating kittens with david lynch and as they each picked their teeth with discarded kitten claws, lynch decided she'd be a good addition to a scene.

xpresswaytoyrskull · 03.27.2006, 03:46 PM

Interesting fact: Lynch will not tolerate cooking smells in his home.

LifeDistortion · 03.27.2006, 03:55 PM

I think my favorite is "Blue Velvet" followed by "Mullholland Drive". I really like them all, the ones I've seen anyways. I even like "Twin Peaks" Fire Walk With Me", which doesn't seem to be a favorite of his hardcore fans. Not sure if I'd include myself in that group, even though he is one of my favorite directors.

i have to agree... blue velvet being just a tiny bit better. i don't know why people are always slagging off that one, it's just not right.
i couldn't stand the elephant man.

Good job on her. I tend to make a mess of myself when dining on small mammals.

Savage Clone · 03.27.2006, 04:42 PM

Slagging off Blue Velvet?
Best movie of the 80s!

truncated · 03.27.2006, 04:57 PM

How is it that Laura Dern looks 40 even then?

Savage Clone · 03.27.2006, 04:59 PM

She makes the worst facial expression ever in that movie.

truncated · 03.27.2006, 05:01 PM

Indeed she does. And to me she just looks so absurd in those schoolgirl outfits. Perhaps that was intentional. For that matter, MacLachlan looks older than his part as well. Yet, since then, he seems to be in some sort of ageless vacuum.

Toilet & Bowels · 03.27.2006, 05:08 PM

the twin peaks tv series is by far and away my favourite lynch thing.
after that i like eraserhead and the straight story a lot.

my local video shop is doing a twin peaks marathon session in may where they are going to be showing both series and the film in one long 36 hour session, it's going to be a themed extravaganze apparently, free coffee free pie etc. i can't wait.
