Blue Velvet definitely shaped my taste in film when I first saw it at The Rainbow Theater in downtown SLO during my freshman year of college…
My compadre Jim Mahfood did a great portrait:

Legend. Great film director, great student of film.
Twin Peaks. Amazing that it ever even made it to TV, and then lasted two seasons! Truly groundbreaking. So deliciously Lynchian good!
Loved that man! RIP
A remarkable scene.

Here’s a pretty cool interview with oft-Lynch collaborator Barry Gifford

The Straight Story was superb.
Thank you, David.
I don't care what any of the haterz say. I have always been and always will be an unapologetic fan of his version of Dune. :D
Off the top of my head, some other classics of his that come to mind I loved were the Elephant Man, Eraserhead, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and of course the Twin Peaks series which continues to inspire.
Hats off to one of the all-time great visionary filmmakers.
Big fan. I remember explaining Twin Peaks to people, nobody ever seemed to get it.Quote:

I was living in Soho then, and I went there and damn that mousse was delicious. The second time I went, though, they said that I had to order food to get the mousse. I bet they didn’t make him do that.
Thx, agree about his Dune. The visual aesthetic he created in that is infinitely more memorable to me than the recent versions.Quote:
