Anything by David Lynch is odd. Overall, good director. Ever seen, "Blue Velvet?"

It was more than a miniseries, if I recall correctly. I thought it ran a few seasons.

Twin Peaks was the inspiration for many games such as Alan Wake on the Xbox 360 and Deadly Premonition on the PS3. Be sure to checkout Eraserhead and if you really want to bake your noodle, Inland Empire. I'm a huge Lynch fan and have seen all his movies, but even Inland Empire was a little much for me.

Interesting dude and his movies are great - subconscious horror.
Eraserhead has dystopia written all over it.

If you want to talk about odd, American Gothic was right up there.

Masterpiece. First eleven episodes (if I recall correctly) were just incredible. Thanks to him, some realize you could have intelligent shows on TV. Don't think you would have had Six Feet Under, The Wire, OZ, etc...;if that show ad't changed the rules for what could be shown on TV. Lost Highway is one of my favorite movies of the 90s; Mulholland Drive is great but walks in the same footsteps. Eraserhead: pure genius as Elephant Man was. The Straight Story showed Lynch was not just about the oddity. A true genius, Tod Browning's heir and a great one.

I'd have to say that's his Opus, though MD is incredible, too.

You really need a primer to make sense of Eraserhead, though. Nothing literal in that film at all, totally symbolic.

So? Same could be told about a good number of Fellini's movies, Bunuel's, Bergman's, etc....Movies are not necessarily about narrative process (which I don't disregard; love Howard Hawks for example). Eraserhead is a very evocative movie. Pretty much what makes me categorize it as "Art" (no pompous).
