Thank you for watching! :) - Krátké a kreslené filmy
The coen brother movies ranked would be sick
Yes!!
PLEASE!
Yessir
my favorite coen brothers movie is fargo
Yes that’s what I’ve been saying!
I adjusted my opinion on Lynch as a whole after watching Twin Peaks. That series has just enough normalcy and just enough weirdness to provide something for everyone. After that, I have liked or loved every Lynch film/project I’ve seen.
Exactly how I felt
I think the normalcy can be attributed to Mark Frost, more so than David Lynch.
Yea it's almost like twin peaks is a David Lynch initiation, especially season 3. If you can handle that, you can handle any Lynch film (although inland empire is kinda like the final boss of his filmography)
@@isaiahromero9861 ...season 3? I've only seen the 2 seasons of the original, and have been trying to talk myself into watching the stuff that came later. is season 3 The Return, FWWM, or something different?
@@Rowdimouse oh I just call the return season 3 sometimes, I know it's confusing lol. Definitely watch it if you're a Lynch fan though, it's very polarizing due to how much different and more surreal it is but it's peak lynch
He has such an authentic personality. Kinda reminds me of Mr. Rogers, but like...the fever dream version.
Also like Rogers nobody that has worked with him has anything bad to say about him, in Hollywood with a 45 year career that's saying something.
@@JMD501Just "Saying something"? Lol, in my opinion that's the greatest possible achievements in Hollywood history
@@RemixedVoice i would say kubricks accomplishments would be above this
@@craigj.7035 and yet Lynch didn’t have to be an abusive asshole to get amazingly haunting performances
@@worrywirt that's what Malcolm McDowell has to say about Kubrick it's his major flaw as a filmmaker, he doesn't understand or care about his performers.
Ah, David Lynch, the only director whose every movie is my favorite
I wouldn’t be surprised, or bothered by, someone picking literally any work in his filmography as their favorite. Probably the only director I feel that way about.
What about dune
I feel the same
@@yobig4541 you gotta appreciate its wackiness
@@adrianidrovo5593 yeah I love the movie even with its faults particularly the 3 hour cut
I feel like Eraserhead should be a lot higher. To me it’s just about capturing what a nightmare is, but it’s probably the best movie ever made about that.
While I give Eraserhead credit for being unlike anything else, I just find it too boring to be entertaining. Same with Inland Empire. Just a personal feeling.
I was sad to see it so low
It’s a tough watch. Even for a Lynchhead.
Yeah, Eraserhead is one my favourite films and it always confuses me when I see people say it's too abstract or it makes no sense, plot wise it's just about a couple who accidently have a child which is deformed, the mother then leaves because it's too much for her and the child is left with an unready father, for me it was always the anxiety of parenthood.
A lot of people don't get Eraserhead because Lynch is often very subtle, his humor can be very droll, and he will sometimes focus on minute and/or obscure details. My favorite scene is the first time Henry uses the elevator. The camera pauses for what seems like an eternity while Henry just stands there, before finally the doors close. What it communicates to the astute viewer though is the fact that Henry knows his apartment very well, and knows that hitting the button impatiently will not make the doors close any faster. I think it's hilarious, and it's all due to timing. Mary getting the suitcase from under the bed is another example of droll humor and timing. And one obscure detail is related to the fact that most people don't know that brushing the hair of someone having a seizure is an old folk remedy. People don't get the reference and think it's just nonsense to be nonsensical. Very little, if anything, in Eraserhead is there to be weird just for the sake of being weird. But you may have to think about a bit more it in order to "get" it.
The ad break after he showed the “what did jack do” poster was very clever and got me good
hhahahah me too, i really was thinking ‘’mmm alright, what is he gonna say tho???’ hahahahah
Finally some true appreciation for Fire Walk With Me. Obviously Lynch fans these days can agree that it's not nearly as bad as critics originally thought it was when it came out but having it THIS high up is just refreshing to see. I can't agree more that it's probably the single darkest and most disturbing film to ever be made
After watching season 1 and 2 I thought I had seen darkness but that wasn't true. The episodes make you fear the darkness and the film just shows you the darkness in its entirety.
In my opinion the series was more effective but the film has a weird pull that sucks you in. I've never really been able to say what I think about the film. I just can't say if it is good or bad. It's confusing.
Fire Walk with Me is his best work imo.
Darkest most disturbing film? I'd give that nod to either Klimov's Come and See or Pasolini's Salo
Some of the most critically acclaimed films are absolute garbage. I learned early on not to trust critics at all and go by whether you like the director's work or not.
@E.V. Hodge Lmao what are you talking about. Fire Walk with Me has always been my #1 favourite Lynch feature and my second favourite film of all time, I just appreciate the fact that Karsten enjoys it a lot as well, it isn't exactly critically praised
For the longest time, David Lynch was such an enigma to me that it was intimidating. Weirdly enough, the thing that got me into his films was actually his daily weather reports because I finally got a sense of who he really is and his sense of humor. He’s hilarious, and the humor present in all of his films is what finally clicked for me and now makes his films such a joy to watch.
That's awesome. The first David Lynch movie I ever saw is also my favorite movie of all time, Mulholland Dr.
Check out the documentaries“Lynch (One)” and “The Art Life”.
🤺☦🇷🇺No🤦♂️😅Your Lynch is a f**** clueless pretentious clown, and anyone with eyes and a lil brain in his head can figure that out - he just throws "art" garbage at you and you only pretend it means something to you to think of yourself as smart art people wtf His so called mysteries add up to nothing, his characters are just dumb and uninteresting or fun to watch, and his films are just used up old surrealist garbage no one cares about, ok? His films are nothing like dreams - dreams look and feel to us as 100% real when we dream - his films don't!)) You wanna watch real engaging mystery dreams? Watch the golden ageof cinema that peaked in the 30s and ended with film noir, because Lynch's and others films are just a cheap boring pretentious imitations of it
This might cure my Cannes-related depression. Still excited for new Miller and Cronenberg though!
Can't express how psyched I am to see the new Cronenberg film!
I like films as much as the next guy, but is this satire?
You guys are making me want to go on /tv/
I get paid to smoke weed & get high on my CZcams channel 😨
You should rank Andrei Tarkovsky and Akira Kurosawa.
Need to binge
Kurosawa would take fucking forever but Tarkovsky definitely seems doable
Francis Ford Coppola
kurosawa made like 40 films, it would take at least an hour to go through all of them
Zulawski*
the way that grief is depicted in twin peaks is incredible. it shows the reality of death that many other movies and tv shows don’t display. season one especially shows the grief that the town and laura’s family are going through and it doesn’t seem to glamorize grief. it’s messy and sad and i love it.
I’d been searching for “Karsten David Lynch ranked” for a few days cause I was obsessed with a Lynch binge session and oh boy did this drop at the right time
David Lynch making quinoa is my favorite film
1. Mulholland Drive (Also my favourite film)
2. Blue Velvet
3. Twin Peaks
4. Lost Highway
5. Twin Peaks: The Return
6. Eraserhead
7. The Elephant Man
8. Wild at Heart
9. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
10. Inland Empire
11. Dune
12. The Straight Story
INLAND EMPIRE is by far my favorite David Lynch movie (and my favorite movie of all time).
A unique, hypnotic, fascinating, mystical, transcendent and sacred experience.
I'm so glad to live in a Universe where this film exists...
@Matejko108 Then you should check out "The Hourglass Sanatorium". That movie should cheer you up.
can you explain why? I'm a Lynch fan but found it painfully cheap and clusmily executed, not just cinematography but really in all aspects. Shining some lights around for 'weird effects' in the same year things like the prestige and pan's labyrinth came out? Interested to hear what you think though
The ending scene of Mulholland Drive is my favorite thing ever; the realization of the unattainability of our deepest desires. I find the refuge of our fantasies/dreams to be a celebration when having to face such realities. Silencio..
Mulholland Drive is devastating. Hollywood chews people up and spits them out.
Wow ❤️
"Oh, and Diane, I gotta find out what kind of trees these are. They're reeeeeaaaaly something." I simply could not stop watching Twin Peaks after that introduction. Simply beautiful.
wow did not expect eraserhead to be this low, I remember grasping some of it on first watch and thinking it was possibly about our place in the world, how we deal with the things we feel don't make sense about the relationship between we as individuals, society's norms and where a transcendent being would take place in the midst of it all. Later finding out Lynch calls it his most spiritual film made sense to me
Right? I still think it's lynch's most essential work, its just so seamlessly perfect in it's themes, imagery, music, and atmosphere, I really don't think anything Lynch has ever done is as focused as eraserhead. Even though my personal favorites are Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks: The Return, both of those have a lot of obvious flaws, but they're redeemed by the highpoints, but I really can't say the same about eraserhead, it's just a masterpiece from beginning to end
Who else has been obsessively waiting for this since he posted it on his story
so happy you made this!! Reminded me of the time i had to go to my local library to rent Fire Walk With Me and they had to request it from the bigger library. Well worth it.
I struggle to truly enjoy his movies but I’m fascinated by the dream like atmosphere he creates. Even if you don’t like his films they’re like nothing else. I can’t think of anyone that’s like Lunch and that’s really something
So glad this finally got a video, couldn’t have given a better description for Mulholland Drive myself
as a teen who is really into film but has been struggling to stay motivated during my break, your videos have been helping me a lot, they're all so snappy and digestible that i've been comsuming film more frequently because your reviews and ideas make me excited about them and bring back the motivation (watched greener grass today), keep up the good work man, i'm always looking forward to your uploads
The return is my all time favorite thing ever, it’s the culmination of everything I love, every feeling I feel it connects with me on a level I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand
So glad to see praise for fire walk with me. I watched it for the first time a week ago, and I didn’t realize it had such a bad initial reception until after I watched and wanted to see what other people had to say about it, and I felt genuinely hurt learning that. I went through something similar to what Laura went through and she’s the first character I’ve ever felt truly seen by. I went into this movie expecting to be triggered but instead I was comforted. you can feel how much David Lynch cared about Laura. Despite it being a brutal watch, like you said it is incredibly empathetic and sensitive to Laura’s pain. I’m glad more people appreciate fire walk with me nowadays, but it low key breaks my heart that people rejected it so harshly at first. I’ve never seen another movie that so accurately depicts what it feels like to be traumatized in that way, and also manages to have the victim be so much more than just a victim. Laura is so complex and multi layered and well written it actually blows my mind. It’s hurts to imagine someone watching such a thoughtful portrayal of trauma and thinking it’s trash. Also I doubt you’ll see this but for what it’s worth I am so sorry for trauma dumping in a comment section from a year old video lol
David lynch honors an idea unlike any other filmmaker I know. Lynch had a similar impact on the way I experience movies. His filmography taught me that trying to solve the puzzle defeats the point. Art comes from, and is experienced as, a feeling.
Twin Peaks was an absolute must watch every week, this was before cable and the internet, It did change everything forever and was Pure Brilliance.
Best series ever.
@@daroblackheart383 Yup!
I first seen twin peaks in 2020,and ever since Ive been looking for more of something like twin peaks. Its just so different and out there, and theres nothing like it, and it holds up so well
Dark doesn’t capture the abstract juxtaposition of reality and dream like Twin Peaks, but it does succeed in exploring a very tightly knitted town that has been torn apart by an inexplicable and supernatural force, exposing all of their deepest and darkest secrets while simultaneously breaking them down. The characters are all fleshed out very well and are seamlessly woven into the very complex web of the plot. I would definitely check it out if you want a recommendation.
@@samhartje723 oh yes, Ive heard about dark, its way overdue on my watchlist, how many seasons/episodes is it?
Atlanta has a lot in common with twin peaks in how it dives in to surreal horror occasionally.
@@dejomrsic6093 it’s a three-season trilogy, with about 8-10 episodes in each.
@@kellenrose7825 that’s a good one too.
I’ve waited so long for this! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
The ending of fire walk with me still hits as hard as the first time I watched it.
Twin Peaks, the most unique and special piece of entertainment i've ever seen
mulholland drive really feels like the closest depiction of what dreaming actually feels like i've ever seen on film
This. Idk how the fuck he does it but that movie IS a dream.
I wish we'd actually gotten David Lynch directing Return Of The Jedi, that would've been cool
Sadly the man himself was the biggest opposer to the idea.
lychian ewok nightmare drama
@@Quirderph Lynch is too ''private'' in his artistic vision to be working with such a public franchise like Star Wars. Like with Dune, he likely would've been clashing with a lot of studio types.
Look it up... someone made a trailer of what that would be like. It's awesome.
Well, did you like Dune? I myself liked it, but most people considered it unwatchable. Twin Peaks is probably about the most mainstream thing Lynch could manage with success. Most of Lynch's stuff couldn't possibly resonate with audiences who gravitate towards pop fluff.
Oh David Lynch, my hero! Ever since Twin Peaks he has bestowed my heart and is the reason why I wanted to be a screenwriter. A one of a kind master at his craft!
The way you talk about Mulholland Drive makes me want to watch it again and see what I missed!
I can’t watch The Elephant Man because the last time I did, I literally triggered my clinical depression and I had to up my meds. That’s why Lynch is so good. He crawls directly into your brain and unlocks doors you may or may not want unlocked. Great video!
Dang he listed the only Lynch movies I watched in dead last lol
I love everything Lynch has done but The Return is my favorite piece of art ever made. It’s absolutely a masterpiece.
As far as films go, Inland Empire is actually my favorite.
HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IVE NEEDED THIS VIDEO
Great list... Mulholland Drive is my al time fav movie.. Still rewatching it and still notice new things... Such a artsy Movie and a great voyage to be taken on...
My favorite is Lost Highway. I Think it’s the one David Lynch film that balanced realism and surrealism perfectly. I did find it easier to understand than Mulholland Drive and did watch the former before the latter as you talked about in the video
1. Mulholland Drive
2. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
3. Eraserhead
4. Blue Velvet
5. The Straight Story
6. The Elephant Man
7. Inland Empire
8. Wild at Heart
9. Lost Highway
10. Dune
Twin Peaks (The Original Series & The Return) are really in their own league.
For dune, he said in his book “catching the big fish”, he said part of the contract was he had no control over the editing process, so there’s a good chance the outsourced editor cut essential footage that would have helped the story and pacing problems.
My favorite might be Fire Walk With Me. It's so sad, yet such a masterpiece. Tragic and yet a bit hopeful
Mulholland Drive is a towering achievement in late modern cinema. It's easily one of the two most satisfying films of the early 21st century (along with "O Brother Where Art Thou," among a few others.
I love your take on this. I always told people to view Lynch's work as one would a painting or poem. Don't force yourself to understand just let it wash over you with it's content.
I'm far from a movie connoisseur although I've seen quite a few in my 53 years. I finally got a chance to watch Mulholland drive a few months ago.... And then had to go read online about what the hell just happened! Lol. Then I re-watched it with a new perspective. I enjoyed it even more. And because my feelers were heightened, I not only 'got' the storyline (if that's possible in his films?) - but I came to appreciate how absolutely beautifully shot all of it is. It's just so incredibly crafted as to be beyond description . I literally don't think the quality and care of the way it all unfolds will ever be matched. And every single character from the cowboy to the mafia to the monster was so flawlessly casted and created.... I have to watch it a third time to catch what I missed, which I'm sure will be a lot. I don't know what awards or recognition this film received when it came out, but it's definitely made an impression on me. And although I've only seen about a third of his movies, I would definitely put this one at the top of the list. Does anybody know if he's actually retired? - because I can't wait if he has something in the works.
1- Mulholland Drive (10/10)
2- Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (10/10)
3- Twin Peaks: The Return (10/10)

10- Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces (8/10)
11- Wild at Heart (8/10
12- The Straight Story (8/10)

I love almost everything he made, Twin Peaks the return might be my favorite, but here is my movie only ranking:
1. Mulholland Drive
2. Lost Highway
3. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
4. Eraserhead
5. The Elephant Man
6. The Straight Story
7. Blue Velvet
8. Inland Empire
9. Wild at Heart
10. Dune
I’m just rewatching this video after having watched my first Lynch film Blue Velvet and the speech i guess you could call it you did at the end about how you never need to understand a Lynch film or films in general to like it. If you like it just based off the feel that is true art. That was exactly how I felt after finishing Blue Velvet (yes i know it’s one of his most straightforward and the easiest to understand but I think I’m just dumb). I didn’t really understand the movie all that welk but yet I couldn’t help but have this strong gut feeling that what i watched was amazing, beautiful, horrifying, and funny all at the same time. Lynch is an absolute master of his craft and I’m so excited to indulge in more of his filmography. Fantastic video Karsten keep up the great work!
David Lynch might be the only filmmaker where I like every single thing he's made. Even my lowest ranking I still like and find things to enjoy.
1. Eraserhead
2. Mulholland Dr.
3. Blue Velvet
4. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
5. Twin Peaks: The Return
6. Twin Peaks (Seasons 1+2)
7. Wild At Heart
8. Lost Highway
9. Inland Empire
10. Elephant Man
11. Straight Story
12. Dune
Also, nice Eraserhead style hair at the end of the video!
That's my list too, but I have Mulholland Dr. at 1 and Eraserhead at 2
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14: 6.
We are living in the last days people. Repent and turn to Christ for He is God...
To me Twin Peaks is by far the most beautiful work he ever did. But that's just me. It's all about mood to me. It is so immersive, and cozy, beautiful, yet horrifying. The female characters are harrowingly shockingly beautiful.
ive been waiting for this video
Mulholland Dr is mr favorite film of all time, such a masterpiece!
I'm glad you liked The Straight Story. I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and I was blown away. It's perfect. I was in tears at several points. The score is incredible too. It's way underrated.
Love seeing this much love for Fire Walk with Me and The Straight Story!
Inland Empire is fully available on CZcams for free!
My favorite will forever be eraserhead. That film changed the way I see movies. Imagery that’s forever seared into my brain!
Your explanation of how good Mullholland Drive is exactly how I felt , just vibes and feelings !
The fantastic thing about Lynch is that the films are often so bizarre but so well put together that you can have two people with polar opposite rankings, and still understand each of them. Here's mine! (also yet to see Inland Empire)
11. Lost Highway
10. Dune
9. Wild at Heart
8. Eraserhead
7. The Straight Story
6. Blue Velvet
5. The Elephant Man
4. Mulholland Drive
3. Twin Peaks
2. The Return
1. Fire Walk With Me
Great ranking. Thanks for sharing. Still feel Dune needs more love. It seems I'm an army of one on that topic. Ha.
Why such a low ranking for Lost Highway?
Lost Highway at last place over Dune?? smoking dick
I was just at the retrospective at the music box I’m so happy this video exists
I have been lookin forward to this video for a while! We have pretty similar rankings which makes me curious about what your thoughts on Inland Empire will be once you get around to it (the only Lynch film except Dune that didn't click with me at all and even made me fall asleep, something that never happens to me).
Here's mine:
1. Fire Walk With Me
2. Mulholland Drive
3. The Straight Story
4. Wild at Heart
5. Blue Velvet
6. Lost Highway
7. Eraserhead
8. The Elephant Man
9. Inland Empire
10. Dune
(I didn't include the Twin Peaks pilot and The Return but they might just jump to the top if I did)
Yours is pretty similar to mine as well:
1. Twin Peaks (entire show, not just the pilot)
2. Fire Walk with Me
3. The Straight Story
4. The Return
5. Mulholland Drive
6. Blue Velvet
7. Lost Highway
8. Eraserhead
9. The Elephant Man
I'd like to see Wild at Heart and Inland Empire, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I've heard a lot of different things about the latter, but one thing everyone agrees on is that it is extremely difficult to make sense of. It's apparently getting a restoration, so Criterion will probably release it sometime this year. I have absolutely no interest in seeing Dune because everyone says it's bad and you shouldn't watch it--even Lynch himself, who is still bitter about how he thinks his vision was taken from him. I also didn't even like the book.
For those who don’t know Inland Empire is in Mubi with a VPN in Mexico, Argentina, India, Spain, etc…
youre totally right about mood changing entirely how my Lynch ranking goes, and they all are so affective to me for their own reasons I have a hard time seeing them as entirely separate films. Inland Empire has to be my favorite film of his if you dont count the twin peaks return. it combines every theme and detail from almost every other piece of work he's done and kind of maps them out in my mind, its the true thesis statement, one which combines FWWM and Mullhollund dr into something much more abstract but much more affective.
I think The Elephant Man is David Lynch's take on the melodrama genre (besides some scenes on Twin Peaks, seasons 1 and 2), kind of like the cinema of Douglas Sirk (but with the opposite cinematography). When analyzed through this lens it's pretty damn effective.
Wow what a video! Congrats!
That what did Jack do cut to ad was perfect I just want to make sure that’s known
Twin Peaks, when it was aired, originally, did change everything for me! The way I perceive art, movies... Of course, I’ve grasped ‘everything Lynch’, since early 90’s i was teleported into ‘Fire Walk with Me’, dreaming of getting same Harley RoadKing, that character James had:))
Later on, while studying filmmaking in London, my dissertation was on Lynch and audio narrative...
I watched fire walk with me and I'm not sure I could ever stomach watching it again, but I'm glad to know everything else is easier to watch because in comparison I'm sure it feels like a cakewalk
Yeah that’s probably the LAST one you should start with lol
Twin Peaks, season 3 (The Return), Episode 8. If you know, you know. The most powerful hour of moving picture I've ever experienced. The emotion he'd been trying to convey through TP all those years ago finally comes out in a cohesive stream of pure consciousness.
Thank you for verbalizing my feelings about him. You were speaking my mind the last couple
minutes of this video!
My personal list, counting TP as a whole, can't divide it.
10. Dune
9. Straight Story
8. Inland Empire
7. Elephant Man
6. Wild at Heart
5. Lost Highway
4. Blue Velvet
3. Eraserhead
2. TWIN PEAKS (S01, S02, S03 + FWWM)
1. Mulholland Drive
OH MY GOD!!
I haven't seen Eraserhead in 10 years, but realizing just now that the main character is Pete from Twin Peaks just endeared the movie to me on such a deep level.
I would say everything you said you Mulholland Drive fits for inland empire too. That is one BEAST of a film
The Straight Story is one of maybe 3 films that have ever made me cry. Way underrated.
Great ranking Karsten. My ranking Of David Lynch's work from my favorite to my least favorite Is
1. Mulholland Drive ( Masterpiece )
2. Blue Velvet ( Excellent film )
3. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me ( Excellent film )
4. Wild At Heart ( Excellent film )
5. Twin Peaks ( Season 1 was great, season 2 was a bit of a mixed bag )
6. Twin Peaks: The Return ( Great but a bit meandering and self Indulgent )
7. Eraserhead ( Good film )
I still have to watch The Elephant Man, Dune, Lost Highway, The Straight Story and Inland Empire.
I agree with you about Twin Peaks: The Return. I wanted so badly to love it. The ending was terrifying and disappointing all at once. At least The Final Dossier gave some answers.
It's April 16, 2022, and if youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu can believe it, it's a Karsten Runquist upload once again!
This man has never seen Inland Empire? My god.
Nice job Karsten!
My ranking of the Lynch man:
1 - Eraserhead
2 - Blue Velvet
3 - Mulholland Drive
4 - Fire Walk With Me
5 - The Elephant Man
6 - TP: The Return
7 - Inland Empire
8 - Wild at Heart
9 - Lost Highway
10 - Dune
(I still haven't seen The Straight Story, I will edit this list once I see it)
Also, I am not adding the original Twin Peaks TV show on the list because I just don't know where it would fit, so I'll say that it is amazing, and I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for those episodes in season 2
Straight Story is so underrated, im super glad you enjoyed it 👍, I wish more people would watch it, probably my 3rd or 4th favorite ngl
Great ranking. Mulholland Drive & Fire Walk With Me are probably my top two. I wish you could have ranked Inland Empire.
Love every single piece of art he has ever released. I might be alone here, but I think Inland Empire is actually my favourite of his, so I do hope you get a chance to see it!
Truly appreciate that one can talk so much about movies and analyse them without including spoilers
I’m dying to know what you think of Inland Empire! Nice list, thanks!
I literally just watched Mulholland Drive for the first time last night. Now I'll have to rush through the ones I haven't watched.
Oh shit, I've been waiting for it forever
Karsten I love your videos!! Would you ever consider doing a Don Bluth Ranked video?
I would love to know your thoughts on Inland Empire! It’s not a film I rewatch like his others but have lately felt compelled to after watching Beau is Afraid last night. I feel like there are a lot of parallels between the two
Man that was so funny putting what would jack do at #1 I really thought you were serious for a sec😂
i’ve bein waiting for this kne
there was a fish in the percolator!
btw there is a 4h30min video on the meaning of Twin Peaks called ''Twin Peaks ACTUALLY EXPLAINED (No, Really)'' if you wanna know
Karstennnnnnnn my boy, great video for a great director. Also hehe first
YES YES YES!! I saw you logging them on Letterboxd and got so hyped
Mulholland drive got a 4k release. Hopefully the same can be said for the rest of his work. Especially Blue Velvet. The sound of that film terrified me.
good list
Not a lot of love for Dune here. Realising the hard time he had with studio and producer interference, and being a great fan of the book, I believe he did an amazing job with Dune. Within just one feature length timeframe. The sets, the costumes, were incredible. But I also think he got a lot right with the characters and story and it’s not an easy thing to do. Yes there’s a lot of things that could have been better I guess, but since a teenager I must have watched that movie 20 times and always find things I love in it. I think it’s always worth another look, especially if you love a bit of Sci fi. If you know the book well, some of the actors in this just nailed it too. Sure there’s some ham, but you can always enjoy that too!
This is definitely likely to change as some films I have watched a lot more than others!
1. The Elephant Man
2. Blue Velvet
3. Mulholland Drive
4. Straight Story
5. Eraserhead
6. Wild at Heart
7. Lost Highway
