Top 3 David Lynch Movies
Filed Under Movies | Leave a Comment
Since his debut film “Eraserhead” in 1977 David Lynch has carved his own niche in the film industry, writing and directing some of the most unique and strange films to come out of California. He has since been nominated for 13 Oscars for films he has worked on. Here is a quick introduction to the work of David Lynch and his top three films.
Blue Velvet
One of Lynch’s most famous films in large part due to the controversy surrounding it and the extensive hatred film critic Roger Ebert had for Lynch’s vision, “Blue Velvet” is still a strange, dream-like trip down main street of everytown-USA where everything isn’t as it seems. Starring Kyle MacLachlan, who would star in Lynch’s TV series “Twin Peaks” and play a reoccurring role in “Sex in the City” as well as Isabella Rossellilni, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern, “Blue Velvet” attempts to show the seedy underside to our seemingly perfect small town American cities.
The Elephant Man
One of Lynch’s most straightforward and accessible films, “The Elephant Man” starred an indistinguishable John Hurt as disfigured Joseph Merrick and Anthony Hopkins as the man who tries to save him. Shot in black and white, “The Elephant Man” was hailed for its sensitive and accurate portrayal of Merrick’s life and appearance. Lynch handles the subject matter admirably, leaving out many of his strange directorial quirks in favor of telling a more straightforward story that will make you cry.
Mulholland Drive
Arguably the most important film of the decade, “Mulholland Drive” is a mysterious, noir-like psychological thriller mixes part Hitchcock, part soap opera, and part uniquely Lynch. It is one of the best movies about Hollywood made since possibly “Singing in the Rain,” and to this day, is debated because of its often contradictory, purposely oblique images and dialogue. “Mulholland Drive” was a powerful and breakout role for Naomi Watts who pulls no punches in her dual role in the film. No matter how you want to interpret its scenes, one thing is for sure, “Mulholland Drive” is a strong reflection on the often deadly allure and influence of Hollywood, the bright hid lights, and the pressures it puts on humans.

Since his debut film “Eraserhead” in 1977 David Lynch has carved his own niche in the film industry, writing and directing some of the most unique and strange films to come out of California. He has since been nominated for 13 Oscars for films he has worked on. Here is a quick introduction to the work of David Lynch and his top three films.
Blue Velvet
One of Lynch’s most famous films in large part due to the controversy surrounding it and the extensive hatred film critic Roger Ebert had for Lynch’s vision, “Blue Velvet” is still a strange, dream-like trip down main street of everytown-USA where everything isn’t as it seems. Starring Kyle MacLachlan, who would star in Lynch’s TV series “Twin Peaks” and play a reoccurring role in “Sex in the City” as well as Isabella Rossellilni, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern, “Blue Velvet” attempts to show the seedy underside to our seemingly perfect small town American cities.
The Elephant Man
One of Lynch’s most straightforward and accessible films, “The Elephant Man” starred an indistinguishable John Hurt as disfigured Joseph Merrick and Anthony Hopkins as the man who tries to save him. Shot in black and white, “The Elephant Man” was hailed for its sensitive and accurate portrayal of Merrick’s life and appearance. Lynch handles the subject matter admirably, leaving out many of his strange directorial quirks in favor of telling a more straightforward story that will make you cry.
Mulholland Drive
Arguably the most important film of the decade, “Mulholland Drive” is a mysterious, noir-like psychological thriller mixes part Hitchcock, part soap opera, and part uniquely Lynch. It is one of the best movies about Hollywood made since possibly “Singing in the Rain,” and to this day, is debated because of its often contradictory, purposely oblique images and dialogue. “Mulholland Drive” was a powerful and breakout role for Naomi Watts who pulls no punches in her dual role in the film. No matter how you want to interpret its scenes, one thing is for sure, “Mulholland Drive” is a strong reflection on the often deadly allure and influence of Hollywood, the bright hid lights, and the pressures it puts on humans.
