Peeping Tom · Post by **Peeping Tom** » 08 Mar 2008, 02:25

i thought blue velvet was very average, and the same about mulholland dr, but i thought i would hire out lost highway and eraserhead from the video store to see what theyre like and well i watched eraserhead and thought it was just arty farty.. blah, really average stuff that i should of been stoned while watching.
im yet to watch lost highway yet but so far Twin Peaks: fire walk with me is my favorite so far.

Lost Highway is probably me favourite. What's good about him is that his films doesn't kill mystery. He reminds me somewhat of Tarkovskij in that there is always something hidden in his films, something myseterious.

I'm not the biggest fan of ereaserhead, but if you watch a couple of the films again I'm pretty sure they will grow on you.

What's so good about David Lynch?

- Dwarves talking backwards
- Pretending you "get it" and impressing all your friends
- Jennifer Connelly in lingerie
- Imagining how screwed up his kids are

As far as I can tell she has not appeared in any Lynch films, but some have mistaken her appearance in Mulholland Falls as an appearance in Mulholland Drive.

Anybody see his short film collection?

I love the Cowboy and the Frenchman

Ive seen it, and I agree. Its very different from his other work. Lynch also hates the western genre

A western done right is brilliant.
Example A...Back to the Future III.

Thank you, Mr Feely.
And might I add The Quick and the Dead to this illustrious list?

once upon a time in the west is an example of a classic western.

I'll go one further:

good Western : 3:10 to Yuma remake
bad Western : The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Best Western : $55 a night

Favourite Western. Paris, Tejas. Taxi Driver a close second.

Rick Cave · Post by **Rick Cave** » 20 Mar 2008, 19:05

I want to see Paris, Tejas.
They never show it on TV.
I'm not in the mood to get it from other sources.
