Favorite David Lynch movie?

I'll go with Blue Velvet.

No movie has ever left me so off-balance after watching it before, or since.
 
It's hard to pick...I don't think I can choose between these three:

Blue Velvet
Mulholland Drive
Fire Walk With Me (Twin Peaks is this shit!)
 
eraserhead is my favourate movie of all time
mulholland drive is not too far behind

his movies are like great abstract or surrealist art that you may not understand but can appreciate because of it's ability to provoke you mentally or emotionally

that was like perfectly worded :)

i've only seen the first 10 minutes of Blue Velvet which i liked???( 8( )
so i think im going to go back and have another watch cos i also recently really enjoyed Mulholland Dr.

in regards to md i dont really see how it could be predictable (unless if you mean stylistically or something?)

but yes; TiberCross defined Lynch perfectly for me.
 
Dune is wicked. Has anyone seen The Straight Story? I haven't.
Yet. I think all of his films are really great. MD was a short screenplay, eh?
Made for tv. And then he went back and shot more film. Money.

Blue Velvet is his masterpiece.
Lost Highway is a cult classic.

Never really watched Twin Peaks. Saw the end of Fire Walk with Me.

Is there a point where Lynch becomes cliche in comparison to himself? Almost to the point of farce? Or is he being intentionally humorous?
 
It's been awhile since i've seen The Elephant Man, I remember it being a good movie, but i would've never guessed it was a David Lynch movie.
The only other movies i've seen are Blue Velvet, and Wild at Heart, the latter being my favorite. Blue Velvet was a little too out there for me.
 
Lost Highway all the way

I've got a really bad recording of it on tape, but it's still watchable. Can't remember the guys name, but the one with the white as face still scares me to bit. He just stands there and stares.

Patricia Arquette, reoooow ;)

I have a theory that he puts little references in his movies that only he would get, or that have no meaning whatsoever, just to see what kinds of meaning that pretentious film buffs attatch to them, for his own amusement. I can't really back that up with anything, but it seems plausible.

As far as becoming cliche in comparison to himself, I can certainly draw parallels between his films, but they seem to evolve as his work progresses - a scene or even the structure of a film might recall something he's done previously, but will build upon it in some way so as not to seem repetitive.

I love the way his films are linear, like an Escher Escalator made from a Mobius strip.
 
Well I mean I guess the Playstation ad (The one I was thinking of was The Third Place) would be the perfect example. Nothing wrong with it. Just you watch so much Lynch and you expect the bizarre.

Apparently he has done more playstation ads.

I d pick "eraserhead" , i m not very fond of lynch though, he sure knows how to make a movie, but he sounds like a right wing fasho to me
 
Oh man, I love David Lynch! He's one of my three favourite directors of all time... (the other two being Pedro Almodovar and John Waters)

Definitely Fire Walk With Me cause Twin Peaks was what introduced me to David Lynch, and I fell in love with it straight away...

Poor Laura.. :(
 
for me, it's gotta be mulholland drive - it's my favourite movie of all time!

totally objectively, mulholland drive is the best movie of all time

Pornaddict since '92. What exactly did you mean by this?

I'm a big Lynch fan, but I think Lost Highway can't be beaten for atmosphere and downright creepiness. Definitly needs a re-watch though.
Eraserhead is sucha headfuck and I love it because a lot of people out there wouldn't sit through a B&W nightmare film with an industrial soundtrack and mutant chicken baby.

I hated Dune, mostly because of how good the book is and it couldn't live up to such high standards.
 
I've only seen Lost Highway once, and enjoyed it, but it's still too much of a mystery to me to comment on it. One of these days I'll watch it again. Other than that, I saw Blue Velvet for the first time recently and it left such an impression that I was still trying to figure it out and process what I'd seen the next day (that was a very busy day for me too, so I wouldn't normally have had films on my mind in that situation). I've since got the DVD and watched it another two or three times. Certainly the best film I've seen in a while, and I look forward to checking out other Lynch films.

mullholand dr. and lost highway... They're both so good. The way he shows the subconscious by making it "real" is just so fucking awesome if you ask me.
 
i finally got round to watching mulholland drive this evening. i have never watched a film which has made me so uncomfortable all the way through - the sense that something bad was going to happen was ever-present.

i think this, for now, has risen to the top of the list of my favourite lynch movies.

So happy to read this, alasdairm. I personally rank Mulholland Drive as the best film of all time - and you hit the nail on the head about there being a constant 'unease' in the way the film is produced. It's not quite brooding, it's something else.

Gonna have to watch it tonight!
