I have never seen a single one of his movies but I love watching interviews with him, he had an amazing presence and so much energy.
If you only watch one, I think Fire Walk With Me is the most representative. If you like it, there's a lot more to explore. If not, then maybe Lynch isn't your thing.

Season 3 Twin Peaks is peak "I don't know what am I looking at".
It's at least a third watching one of Kyle MacLachlan's characters walking around with brain damage. I liked the season after a rewatch but the Dougie stuff is still tedious.

"Los Angeles, every day, hot and sunny, today, hot and sunny, tomorrow, hot and, for the rest of the… hot and sunny, every single day, hot and sunny. And they love it. 'Isn’t great, every day, hot and sunny?' What are you, a @$%^& lizard?" - Bill Hicks
I've been in LA for 14 years, and I always say LA has great weather in the same way a mall has good weather. It's never unpleasant and is always "perfect", but at some point you miss the feeling of breeze and slight variations and it feels like you're breathing air from a can.
David Lynch was a giant in film directing with his unique vision and surreal style and he gave us so many great movies. But more importantly I feel that he inspired so many modern movie directors such as Ari Aster and Yorgos Lanthimos to make movies like that. I put Lynch in the same category of greatness as Kubrick and Tarkovsky. True genius!

Start with "Eraserhead" and then go from there. Surreal is the word I associate with his movies and tv show (Twin Peaks) and I absolutely love watching such movies!
Eraserhead is borderline unwatchable. I love David Lynch, sort of, but without telling people that they're about to sit down and watch an hour-and-a-half of what is effectively an unwatchable piece of avant-garde cinema, then they're not going to be able to appreciate it. There is nothing worse than getting excited to see a famous director's debut film, thinking you're going to have a good time, and then getting Eras…
First two seasons of Twin Peaks are his masterpiece IMO and his most watchable.
Those are some of the best characters of any film/tv show ever.
From there I would go to Lost Highway next for a stronger dose of the more out there stuff.

I’m in Seattle and during the summer heat, the city dries and sometimes ends up with smokey haze from wildfires. Then comes that random rainy day at the end of the heatwave, gives the city a shower it needs and the fresh smell is unbeatable. I’m not sure what heaven smells like, but if I had to guess it’s like the air after summer rain in my city.
