David Lynch Ranked

Watching this again today, i feel so sad.. Thank you David Lynch!

[@sauceontoes3457]

I am deeply saddened by his demise.

[@bencarlson4300]

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.

[@connerywilliamson8170]

Exactly how I felt

[@isaiahromero9861]

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)

[@Rowdimouse]

[@isaiahromero9861]

@@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

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.

[@HauntFreak13]

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.

[@juliette7535]

I was sad to see it so low

[@theDiReW0lf]

It’s a tough watch. Even for a Lynchhead.

[@i_am_humann]

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.

[@Syncopator]

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.

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

[@poppop-oj6by]

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.

[@FattyCakes24601]

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.

[@lukaszzylik4437]

That's awesome. The first David Lynch movie I ever saw is also my favorite movie of all time, Mulholland Dr.

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?

[@user-rz3nu3lm5r]

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

[@wowbobwow-j9n]

I felt the same way finding out FWWM was boo’d at Cannes + bombed on all aspects. I couldn’t believe it. Lynch is that much of a visionary, audiences just weren’t ready for it because the consensus today seems to be that it’s one of his greatest films, and I agree.

[@rodrigomatosopecanha1035]

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

[@isaiahromero9861]

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

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.

Thank you for verbalizing my feelings about him. You were speaking my mind the last couple minutes of this video!

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.

Love seeing this much love for Fire Walk with Me and The Straight Story!

[@BlottaMcTablets]

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.

[@jekw23]

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

[@seanpanigel5494]

My list: 1. Mulholland drive 2. Eraserhead 3. Twin peaks : the return 4. Twin peaks: fire walk with me 5. Lost highway 6. Twin peaks TV show 7. Blue velvet 8. Inland empire 9. The elephant man 10. Wild at heart

Where is straight story?

[@seanpanigel5494]

@@antonioblagaic1072 haven't watched it and dune yet

[@zstepohznrebrenhoirer7]

I think Mulholland is his best and it was my favorite for a very long time. Then I rewatched FWWM and I fell in love with Laura Palmer. Just for the way she smiles at the end with tears rolling down her face... So beautiful.

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!

I love that movie. It's one of my favorites he made.

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)

[@achasingafterthewind]

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.

[@andrewthemovieguy]

1) Mulholland Drive 2) Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me 3) Blue Velvet 4) Eraserhead 5) The Straight Story 6) The Elephant Man 7) Lost Highway 8) Inland Empire 9) Wild at Heart 10) Dune Agree on everything except Eraserhead and Wild at Heart. Awesome list

[@MrGameandWatch666]

Inland Empire is fully available on KZbin for free!

[@taylorlien569]

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

[@theDiReW0lf]

Yeah that’s probably the LAST one you should start with lol

[@Fejrus887]

Truly appreciate that one can talk so much about movies and analyse them without including spoilers

[@HitorMissHallmark]

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!

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

Love seeing what is probably my favorite film ever at #1. And I love your love for that most recent season of Twin Peaks, that was just bonkers in the best way, and a total culmination of his career. Lynch is easily in my top 5 favorite directors of all time, it would be so hard to rank the rest after Mulholland Drive, I love them all (never seen Dune!).

[@leobandoni]

Lost Highway is Lynch's masterpiece imo. It also has the best soundtrack ever.
