Which one of his movies should i watch first?

Which one of his movies should i watch first?

Blue Velvet is the most entry-level Lynch and the best

suck my dick first

okay

The first one like you would with any other director

Isn't starting with a directors best movie a bad idea in general since you only go downhill from there.

Dune

eraserhead

If you don't like the film what's going to bring you back to the table?

Yea I take it back OP, why don't you watch Wild at Heart.

Elephant Man. Super easy to get. It's not capeshit though

>tfw watched this movie for the first time a little while ago and liked it but wasn't really blown away by it
What's his weirdest movie? I'm in the mood for weird movies.

Fire Walk With Me is a good place to start since it's a prequel.

eraserhead, or maybe inland empire which I haven't seen but heard is pretty fuckin weird

You watch them in release order.

inland empire

Twin Peaks* > Eraserhead > Wild at Heart > Elephant Man > Blue Velvet > Mulholland Drive > Lost Highway > Rabbits > Inland Empire

this isn't any order of quality, more an order of the best chronology to watch Lynch while "getting him" and simultaneously getting Lynched

It's not the most entry-level, but it is the best.

Elephant Man is probably his best "straight" story*, being a good drama with great actors. For more surreal weirdness, I would watch Blue Velvet or maybe Mulholland Dr. Of course, the Twin Peaks saga is probably one of his greatest achievements (though he shares that credit along with Mark Frost and all the others who had a hand in the show), and the original series comes highly recommended.

*excepting The Straight Story

I saw Eraserhead. Liked it but didn't know what to make of it.

Yeah I'll check that one out too sometime.

>the Twin Peaks saga is probably one of his greatest achievements
But it's worse than almost all of his films.

I'm pretty sure it's just a surreal coming-of-age story. But you can say anything about anything about surreal works like Lynch's.

Season 3 and FWWM are some of his best work though.

>Season 3
No
>FWWM
Middle ground film, still great.

At its best I think it's better than most of his films. Unfortunately, both new and old series swing (sometimes wildly) in quality.

People tend to underrated the role narrative plays in Lynch's stories (going as far as to say the story doesn't matter - which in Lynch is patently false), and I think Twin Peaks + the movie are some of his best work exploring his usual theme of the surreal duality of small-town life. And this is all wrapped up in a story that is engaging and conveys its themes through character interaction and atmosphere.

All of them

second for "order of release"

Watch
>Eraserhead
>Blue Velvet
>Twin Peaks
>Mulholland Drive

don't watch inland empire

Who is she

>Family man Dennis "Murph" Murphy (Eric) moves next door to Brenner (Tim), a friendly bully who torments Murph for declining his offer to hang out.

Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories

Blue Velvet as a lube. Then Eraserhead followed by Inland Empire.

Yes, some of Twin Peaks is fantastic. But a lot of it is just not up to standard compared to the rest of his work.

Twin Peaks does some things with its theme well, but I don't quite accept all the praise it gets. It explores the idea of the dark corruption and evil underneath a pleasant society, but compare it to Blue Velvet.
BV: The main character is morally questionable, and meeting Frank and Dorothy causes him to question himself. Not only that, we as an audience are left questioning his character. Early in the film Dern says "I can't tell if you're a detective and a pervert." That is before everything has escalated - for example, later on Jeffrey has seen what Frank does to Dorothy, and gives in to the pleads for abuse of the victim that he is meant to be saving, to satisfy his own lust.
TP: Cooper is seemingly the best guy around - optimistic, friendly, and great at his job. The audience warms to him very quickly, and they never feel differently throughout the run. Cooper has a bit of a black mark with what happened with Windom Earle and his wife - but that is very rarely brought up, and doesn't change Coop throughout the show. You could say Coop becoming trapped in the Black Lodge because of his lack of courage is indicative that there is more to him, but that is at the very end, and doesn't seem to involve moral corruption.

In Twin Peaks Coop is not affected by the darkness in Twin Peaks. It is almost simply black-and-white.

Alaina Dawson.

>Don't watch Lynch's best film
What did he mean by this?

I went Dune->Twin Peaks+FWWM->Eraserhead, haven't watched others yet.

It's nonsense. Even Lynch himself said it's just a bunch of random scenes he shot.

>no interracial scenes
jesus fucking christ DROPPED.

start chronologically then work backwards

Yep, unless you're a pleb. Same with albums, books, games.

he says that about every film he makes

all white is alright

she's too pretty for white small dicks

hopefully she will go BLACK, every pornstar does nowadays.

(OP)
mulholland drive is his only good film, really.

sure thing cuck

If I was talking to my mom or a buddy with normal tastes then this is the one. But Eraserhead is my personal pick.

Eraserhead --> Twin Peaks (start it, get a feel, come back if you want more) --> Wild at Heart --> Blue Velvet --> Lost Highway --> Mulholland --> Inland --> his shorts

Straight story and Elephant man are good but significantly less Lynchian
