Shaviro Posted October 10, 2002 Which David Lynch movie is best? TP: FWWM is my choice. 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted October 10, 2002 I saw the Elephant Man a couple of weeks ago. A very impressive film. A type of film that keeps haunting your head for days 'n days after you saw it. Very sad too.. I don't think I've ever seen one of the others, so I picked the Elephant Man. Anthony Hopkins was superb in that movie. 0 Share this post Link to post
david_a Posted October 10, 2002 I haven't seen all of these unfortunately, but I voted for Blue Velvet. The ending kinda annoyed me though, I thought the symbolism was just way too blatant. Lost Highway is interesting once you figure out wtf is going on, but it's still flawed. The actor who takes over for Bill Pullman in the middle of the movie just isn't that great. It's got some lines in it that just stick with you, though ("and WTF is your name?!","this is where 1400HP pays off", etc) I thought Dune was entertaining, but that's about it. Not exactly Lynch's shining moment. I liked the sandworms in this one a lot better than the ones in the Sci-Fi mini-series. The Bene-Gessert being bald, though? WTF! The Straight Story is very good, and it's even G rated! *gasp* (it might be PG, I dunno) It's not really what people expect when they think David Lynch... 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted October 11, 2002 I've been told I should see some of those films... yet to do so. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted October 11, 2002 I only saw Dune and Lost highway, I think. So I voted the latter, a good movie. 0 Share this post Link to post
Y2theJ Posted October 11, 2002 I voted for Dune. I have one of those sand worms in my backyard. 0 Share this post Link to post
JavaGuy Posted October 11, 2002 I voted for Dune, because it's the only one I ever saw. Still, I thought the series was better because there's just way too much to explain in the book for it to fit in the movie. 0 Share this post Link to post

Need to see some of these others as well, 'specially Lost Highway... 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted October 11, 2002 Just a tip: Do not watch Tp: FWWM before the series. You'll have absolutely no idea what's going on. 0 Share this post Link to post
