05.31.17 | As long as "Dune" is last, your list is fine with me. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.31.17 | Always makes me sad to see no love for Wild at Heart, and Blue Velvet is a little low but hell fucking yes for Inland Empire |
adr
05.31.17 | 1 is a bit overhyped compared to some of his later work tbh
5 is 1
gotta watch Inland Empire sometime |
JeetJeet
05.31.17 | 5 is the best period |
Anthracks
05.31.17 | lost highway is dope fuck you. blue velvet is best followed by mulholland drive. twin peaks s3 and s1 follow and where's elephant man asshole that shit made me cry |
Anthracks
05.31.17 | wild at heart is his funniest movie. eraserhead is cool and all but #1 is a joke be real dude |
rabidfish
05.31.17 | dude no, Lost Highway is his best movie... TP S2 is 2/3 bad. |
Anthracks
05.31.17 | tp s2 finale is the best episode and there's a lot of really fucking great moments but obviously the network interference is genocidal |
EyesWideShut
05.31.17 | Straight Story is 1 |
rabidfish
05.31.17 | also, Elephant man, where is it? It's more of an character central movie so people remember most the acting, but it's a damn fine movie. |

05.31.17 | Wild At heart is too low, absolutely cracking film. Then again, it'd be too hard to rank his films, they're all awesome -- bar maybe Dune for being a little weak. |

05.31.17 | okay I'll do my own one:
Inland Empire (5/5): Masterpiece, his most uncompromising work. No wonder there are a lot of people who don’t like it, but there is nothing like it. One of my favorite movies ever.
Mulholland Drive (strong 4.5/5): I still find it a tad long-winded in the middle, but hell, the last third is the best thing he ever touched. The atmosphere is crushing and even that is an understatement.
The Elephant Man (4.5/5): The first of his two takes on doing a full-on drama movie. Succeeded all the way through. One of the most empathetic and self-aware movies ever. Very moving and with great acting performances throughout.
Eraserhead (4.5/5): Perhaps the most impressive debut movie of all time. Nightmare incarnate, just unbelievable. But it takes a while to pick up. Only gets better and better as it goes on though.
The Straight Story (4.5/5): The second take on drama, this one is a little „tame“, but it doesn’t bother me at all, since the acting and characterization are just brilliant. Beautiful movie.
Lost Highway (4.5/5): Took a little while for this one to fully unfold. I really liked it the first two times I watched it, but not as much as Mulholland Drive by a long shot, even though I couldn’t quite grasp the reasons why. Might have been because of the lack of any sane characters in comparison to Betty in Mulholland Drive. Really hit me hard when I watched it a third time though. Amazing use of the soundtrack!
Blue Velvet (4/5): This one has some problems with the acting (especially concerning Dern) and the story-telling. It doesn’t cross the line of surrealism to the point where an illogical story can be easily excused imo. Still a movie with brilliant imagery and atmosphere and Hopper is amazing.
Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me (low 4/5) I liked this one much more than I expected. It’s kinda incoherent, but it’s got a chilling atmosphere and the last half an hour has a lot of really intense moments.
Dune (2/5): Yeah, this one has a lot of flaws, especially concerning the story-telling. All the fight scenes have aged very badly.
Wild At Heart (2/5): Can’t stand this movie, never will. Annoying actors in an annoying script. Dumb movie, but the aesthetics still are spot-on, so it does have its merits.
So, all in all no really bad film and a lot of amazing ones. He's my second favorite director of all time. |

05.31.17 | dune is underrated beause i just find it fun although it is pretty bad
and eraserhead is pretty overrated imo, havent really got around to any of his others that i remember |
DoofusWainwright
05.31.17 | Eraserhead either connects or it doesn't, it's not one to get too academic over - despite all the many interpretations of the symbology |
Thalassic
05.31.17 | Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Inland Empire, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks (S1 & Fire Walk With Me) all rule hard. Straight Story and Elephant Man are great movies, though less my cup of tea. Dune is kinda fun.
Wild At Heart is cringe af |
Crymsonblaze
05.31.17 | I've only seen Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and the first couple episodes of Twin Peaks. I've seen enough to safely say I don't care for his surreal style at all. |

05.31.17 | Los Highway > Mul Dr > Ereaser > Inland > Wild heart > Blue Velvet > Elephant Man > FWWM > Dune > The gay story |
Rik VII
05.31.17 | "Los Highway"
Is that the Spanish remake? |
DungeonBoy
05.31.17 | Just finished S1 of Twin Peaks after putting it off for a really long time, and it's easily one of the best shows I've ever seen. Really looking forward to S2, but surprised to see all of those average ratings for it. I'm really curious to watch it and I wonder if I'll agree with the above ratings. |
Rik VII
05.31.17 | Regarding S2, I agree with what Doofus said about it ("eps range in quality from 1.5-5"), but the latter are so damn worth it. Have fun with them! |
DungeonBoy
05.31.17 | I'll take a few 1.5's for some 5's. I'm still holding out for some more backwards talking dwarf dream sequences. |
JWT155
05.31.17 | Mulholland Drive is so over rated. |
DoofusWainwright
05.31.17 | Straight Story is at least a 4 for the music alone :( |
porcupinetheater
05.31.17 | Wild at Heart rules, y'all trippin' |
Rik VII
05.31.17 | @DungeonBoy: Be sure to watch the movie, too, it's far better than it usually gets credit for. |
EyesWideShut
05.31.17 | Lost Highway is a nu-metal classic |
Rik VII
05.31.17 | Nah, industrial metal |
