I've been watching a lot of David Lynch films lately... anyone else a fan of his work? My favorite so far is Eraserhead.

He's an interesting director, though I get the feeling that he is allowed to get away with some of his inscrutable art-film pretension because he's famous for doing those sort of things--thematically his films make sense, but scenes here and there don't really add up to anything: The ending of Mullholland Drive, for example.
I love his visual style, and respect the fact that he's been able to have a hell of a lot of freedom since day one, but he's not someone who I watch on a regular basis. |

|  | Will work for groove | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Middletown, OH | | I loved the first season of Twin Peaks, but then the network had to ruin it by forcing him to reveal Laura Palmers killer. Once they did that, the suspense was gone and the series died. But first season to me was really unique and groundbreaking. Blue Velvet was quite interesting too but that sex scene in the middle gave me Dennis Hopper creeps for years.

I have to say I prefer his more mainstream efforts, The Elephant Man is just beautiful.
