“it’s total pish but the sixth time you watch it you’ll notice a red lampshade that is connected to…”

you’re alright, pal you can keep it

#55

I can imagine “notice appearances of the red lampshade” being said in Red Room-style backwards speech

Lynch’s magnum opus. Don’t know what its “meaning” is and don’t want to know.

I’m not sure I can decide. Tough call.

I can’t decide, though I picked Mulholland Drive on the assumption that it wins out by maybe point zero one of a percent

#61

Yeah think I’m a two-way with Mulholland Drive vs. The Elephant Man. Eraserhead could squeak a look in.

I understand the reverence with Blue Velvet but I’ve always found it a touch overrated.

#62

DO this thread for loads of films I liked it.

Used to be super into mullholland drive and David Lynch entirely as a little one. Printed loads of his cartoons and pictures on my mums inkjet and put them all over my wall. Downloaded his adverts and stuff from kazaa. KazAa? KaZaA?

#65

Inland Empire was such a slog

not seen Dune but it has Sting in winged pants so it’s alright by me

#66

Someone’s gonna choose The Straight Story, I just know they are, and that’s gonna break my fucking heart man.

(Can’t choose this either. Toss up between Fire Walk With Me and Wild At Heart I think. Not seen Dune or Lost Highway)

I’ve seen Inland Empire 6 or 7 times and I enjoyed it about 3 of those times

I think Dune would have been alright if they’d just let Lynch make it, but it went through production hell and the final thing is a total fucking mess. Wild At Heart is bad and that’s how Lynch wanted it.

why have you seen it 7 times?!

i do keep meaning to see Dune cause it does sound so entertainingly bad, but it also seems a bit of a slog. maybe a film club pick…

#69

saw it in the cinema in 2006 and have had it on DVD and Bluray, and it’s definitely his most impenetrable so sorta needs it

#70

Dune has brief moments of clarity where you feel like it could have been okay, but taken as a whole it’s a complete shambles.

#71

feel like he got the cod-mysticism stuff right. love the prophecy bit right at the beginning

Lynch was apparently tipped to direct Return of the Jedi at some stage :rofl:
