Favorite David Lynch film (1 Viewer)

[Justin_S]

David Lynch is a brilliant filmmaker to say the least, and he is definitely one of my favorite directors. I love every single film he has made, minus THE STRAIGHT STORY which just didn't work for me for some reason. So my question is: What is your favorite Lynch film? My favorite Lynch film is also the best film of 2001, MULHOLLAND DRIVE! This film is just a brilliantly made masterpiece in my book! One of the best films I have ever had the pleasure of viewing! So, which film is your favorite?

I'm still a fan of Blue Velvet, despite what some critics say.

If I dont see Mulholland Drive soon, Im gonna kill someone!
Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me in my favorite

 

[Bill McA]

I LOVE David Lynch!!
I haven't yet seen Mulholland Drive, but I've seen everything else Lynch has done many, many times.
His best is still Blue Velvet and Eraserhead (and his worst is Wild at Heart, a bit of a mess IMO)

I'm still a fan of Blue Velvet, despite what some critics say.

I'm not sure what critics you are referring to Jack, but Blue Velvet was voted the 2nd (or was it 3rd?) best film of the 1980's by critics worldwide (Raging Bull came in 1st place).

I'll go with Blue Velvet though I have yet to see Mulholland Drive.

I'm not sure what critics you are referring to...

I know Roger Ebert didn't like BV; I'm pretty sure Leonard Maltin didn't care for it, either.

 

[Nick Sievers]

It may be to soon to say but I think Mulholland Drive is his best. I'm a big fan of just about all of his work though.

I really liked the Straight Story but my favorite is Dune.

 

[Steve_Ch]

Eraserhead. Yet to see Straight Story.

 

[Henry Gale]

Mulholland Drive.

I am a Lynch fan, but I have not seen The Straight Story.

Eraserhead

 

[Brian Lawrence]

The Straight Story
I liked Dune to a certian degree but otherwise I don't care for Lynch's films. They have great moments but I tend to find the films as a whole are not nearly as good as the sum of their parts.

The Elephant Man

 

[Michael Reuben]

Blue Velvet, followed by a three-way tie for Wild at Heart, The Straight Story and Mulholland Drive.

The Elephant Man
thank you Parmount for a long overdue dvd

 

[Kevin Leonard]

It'd have to be a two-way tie with Lost Highway and Eraserhead. But that could change when I see Mulholland Drive.
(PS: My original choice was actually going to be Wild at Heart, but in hindsight it's WAAAAAYYYYYY too scattershot.)

Definately Blue Velvet with The Straight Story a close second. Like many above, being an Englander (I saw Great Escape yesterday), I have yet to see Mulholland Drive, but the soundtrack is great!

 

[Rain]

I haven't seen them all, but of the one's I've seen so far, I'd have to say The Elephant Man, although I also remember liking Blue Velvet (it's been a while).

 

[Scott Weinberg]

I'm not a big Lynch fan. Having said that, I still think The Elephant Man is one fantastic movie.

I'm not a big Lynch fan. Having said that, I still think The Elephant Man is one fantastic movie.

Could not have said it better myself! I have not seen Mullholland Drive though.
