My biggest problem with the majority of his films is the pacing. My god, is it awful - cult classics or not - I have trouble sitting through even the most infamous of his works. To me, he's kinda like Nick Zedd in that aspect; I can respect what he does, but I don't necessarily like it.

Glen or Glenda on the other hand... I really liked that film. Nothing too amazing, but just weird enough to keep me entertained on a rainy night. I'm still not sure if I could necessarily recommend it though.

I'd agree that Eraserhead is by far Lynch's best. In fact, it's in my top 5 of all-time for sure. After that, I'd have to go with his short, 'The Grandmother'... then probably Wild at Heart.

ASP mentioned on here a few times that he thought of Lynch moreso as a good introduction to experimental film... but wasn't exactly one of his personal favorites overall (I hope I'm not misquoting him). I think I agree with that. Lynch is really, really good (when he wants to be), but there's much crazier flicks out there with just as strong a sense of beauty as any of his works (which I'm positive you know of, yet still prefer Lynch - to each his own). I'm actually really sad that he didn't get to direct Return of the Jedi though.

Good and well executed, but I'm not sure if it was as great as all the hype makes it out to be.

man i loved the grandmother! i really liked his other shorts like the alphabet and six men getting sick. 6 of his films are arguably all 10/10's. (Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Fire Walk With Me, Wild At Heart, Mulholland Drive, Straight Story) imo. and yeah i understand if people prefer something else. There are definitely tons of other great filmmakers. His stuff has just always amazed me the most.

I was sort of indecisive at first about whether him directing return of the jedi was just a rumor or not. I'm assuming he really did turn it down to direct what? Dune? If my memory serves me well.. that probably wasn't the best decision he ever made. It's weird you mentioned that because i recently went back and watched the older trilogy about a month ago. I kind of wore them out when i was younger but they're still enjoyable. Empire Strikes Back is the best one ever made.

The last movie I watched was "Brüder". A harmless austrian comedy for the whole family.

Let me think, if I watched some good ones recently ...

Jaffa by Keren Yedaya was nice. Attractive actresses and good plot (yeah, that's the correct order).
Revanche by Götz Spielmann. An austrian movie you might want to check out
And a few good ones on youporn.

you know its gonna be good when it flops that hard and gets such bad reviews.

at the start where it says "part 4" - this is because there are 3 graphic novels leading up to the start of the film that aren't even mentioned in the film.

people say its incomprehensible but it seems pretty clear to me. it is basically a sci fi comedy version of the book of revelations. which if you've read is basically the point where the bible collapses in on itself in a schizophrenic mess.

I forgot about the graphic novels! That's right!

and talk about amazing casting.

25 years after hearing a word about it, I got to watch :

 

Joe Morton's good, the story's laid back and cool, the villains choreographies are fluent and fun.

watched:

The Store- Frederick Wiseman's 1983 doc about downtown Neiman Marcus store in my hometown of Dallas Texas. All I can say is its fascinating to watch a guy mull over which fur coat to buy for $45,000. Wiseman is probably the best observer of America we've ever had.

The Sicilian Clan- Jean Pierre Melville ripoff, but still good Euro-crime with a terrific heist and cool Alain Delon, Jean Gabin

Kids Return- rewatched Kitano's excellent mid 90's tale of two high school students and their divergent paths in life.

Cowboys and Aliens. Loved it! Olivia Wilde... mmmm

Finally seeing this after hearing a lot of good things about it on horror sites. Definately owes a ton to "Friday the 13th". At times its so over the top though you're not sure if it wants you to take it seriously or laugh at it. It wants to say its a throwback to 80's slasher movies and I love 80's horror. This wasn't quite that good, but it came close. Haven't seen the second one, chances are its more of the same rather then upping the ante.
