Agree but is never going to happen.

This. Iā€™d put Lost Highway over MD save for this scene.

I strongly agree with this take but I do not understand it.

Correction, I canā€™t remember a single song name from Mulholland Drive. Also I saw Lost Highway prob 10+ times, so not really a fair comparison.

They misspelled ā€œRRRā€.

Not sure how; itā€™s only 3 letters.

I guess this is where I admit I couldnā€™t finish Lost Highway the first time but have seen Mulholland Drive more times than I can count. It instantly made me think I was a David Lynch fan, when really I just adore that one movie of his.

Honorable mention to Elephant Man and David Lynch Signature Cup Coffee.

For gigantic box office movies everyone saw: Iā€™d maverick a better film than titanic?

Iā€™d probably say yes? Good Will Hunting was the best movie that year, is something that good here?

Absolutely a pretty big fan myself. Twin Peaks (including the amazing follow-up a few years back), blue velvet (with an incredible Dennis Hopper at his best) and Wild at heart with a young Nick cage and Laura Dern are all great in my book.

I take it you finished lost highway eventually? No likey still?

I never finished itā€¦ :open_mouth:

I tried more than once. My partner loves it and has suggested we watch it whenever it pops up in the title cards. I guess I should power through and at least open myself to what sheā€™s experiencing and why she loves it.

I wish I liked Lynch. Surrealism is cool. Just not usually into the experience I have when watching his movies.

I think Mulholland Drive is an exception for me less because of Lynchā€™s approach to storytelling and more because the story of Mulholland Drive resonates with me from my background with fractured identities.

I also canā€™t get enough of movies that feel impenetrable but are just fair but hard-to-solve puzzles.

Iā€™ve watched Eraserhead loads of times and never tire of it.

Havenā€™t seen that one either.

Do you also enjoy Tim Burton movies? Heā€™s another one where I enjoyed the hell out of a couple of his movies (Batman, Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hollow), but I donā€™t like most of anything else heā€™s done.

This probably sounds odd but I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen one of his films.

I envy you.

Hereā€™s Kevin Smith telling a hilarious anecdote about the time he pissed off Tim Burton.
