1. Mully D (almost overrated but not quite, justifies his entire oeuvre)
2. The Straight Story (underrated classic and in the lynch universe his most experimental film.. his vision filtered through lucidity results in a crystallized form where everything fits together perfectly
mechanically, instead of the usual unwieldy mass navigable only through instinct. The one I've watched the most.)
3. Blue Velvet (best non Kub film of the eighties)
4. High Lostway (if he'd never made mully d we'd still be scratching our heads about this. It might have even turned into his first INLAND EMPIRE. but I doubt it, this feels like it was made by professionals)
5. Eraserhead (I still think Kub was trolling when he said this was his favourite film, but at the time I probly would've agreed.. not student film-ish at all. The most sophisticated amateur film ever made, even with no budget, the ideas and atmosphere give it a million dollar feel)
6. TP: FWWM (it's no Ronnie Rocket, but the electricity almost makes up for it)
7.
Wild@heart.com ( probly due for a rediscovery, I'm just never in the mood for it)
8 Elephant Man (great title, not much else)
9. Dune (the worst film to come out of a genius mind since To The Wonder)
10. INLAND EMPIRE (worse than Dune and without any of the excuses)
