Mulholland Dr.

I was talking about shit he made himself, but sure, I'd put those incredible episodes of Louie he was in above this.

This is The Nanny masterpiece. I hope she win Oscar soon. It was a travesty that she wasn`t even nom inated for this (though it launched her career).

I'm with Ric in not really knowing wtf went on. I've been meaning to rewatching it though.

3rd best Lynch thing. Creepy and beautiful. Just what I expect from this guy.

 

Just nosy - what are his best and 2nd best in your opinion?

For me, The Straight Story is Lynch's masterpiece.

I've been meaning to revisit Mulholland Drive for a long time, and I'm glad I finally did. The way the movie, which is about the allure of Hollywood and its broken dreams (or something), just sucks you into this hazy and hypnotic dream-like world is simply dazzling. It's really a movie to get lost in (in more ways than one). The score, by Twin Peaks-composer Angelo Badalamenti, is ethereally beautiful, and Naomi Watts' (who is one my favorite actresses) performance is revelatory and stunning.

 

I very rarely give out A+ grades, but this movie truly deserves it. In my mind, it sits, alongside City of God, Memento, No Country for Old Men, Oldboy, and maybe Apocalypto, as the best movie of the last decade.

 

So take a trip to Mulholland Drive, and remember, there is no band.

This weirdo is supposed to have no repeated watch value, but once you started to dig into it, you will find it actually got a great deal of it because you'll never be able to understand most of it if you only watch it twice or three times.

Once you realise what's a dream and what isn't, the film has a surprsingly solid narrative. A lot of people are often under the impression that Lynch just throws everything at the surrealist wall and sees what sticks, but that's never been his style.

I'd put Blue Velvet and the episodes of Twin Peaks he directed ahead of it.

Lost Highway's very underrated. With all its wish-fulfilment dream logic it's a perfect companion piece to Mulholland Drive.

I was gonna watch that one because it had that Mulholland Dr. vibe and because I read that it is the closest Lynch has come to making a horror movie, but then I read some reviews where it said that Lost Highway makes Mulholland Dr. look like The Straight Story and that it is basically Lynch trying too hard to make a Lynchian movie...

[Jake Gittes]

Lost Highway is awesome. See it.

It's slightly weirder and darker, but if you bought into MD I can't see why you wouldn't enjoy it. Like all his movies, it's not just weird stuff happening for the sake of it.

Alright, I'ma watch Lost Highway tonight. Just one thing, is Lost Highway the movie where 2 people have sex in a car and the guy sticks his cock in an open wound in the woman's leg? Cause if it is, then I'm not interested. I'm not into diabolical shit like that.

[Jake Gittes]

No. I think you're talking about Cronenberg's Crash, which is also great and you should see it. (fwiw, your description of that scene is much worse than its actual depiction in the movie).

I need to see it a second time. 

 

Everyone needs to see this weirdo more than once.

[BoxOfficeZ]

I have no idea what the fuck I just watched, but definitely going to need to watch it again. My brief theory involves and a bunch of different personalities (naive, experienced, helpless) and that she was in a dream all this time after the car accident. Its about despair and suicide is another theory I have.  

 

Naomi Watts was phenomenal. The soundtrack is haunting and beautiful. 

 

A+

Straight into my top 10.
