Lynch's was still my favorite version of Dune despite flaws.
Just be sure to watch the longer, two-parts version; it's bewildering how much the ending was butchered, and changed, in the theatrical one

#54Time to rewatch most of his films this weekend, a true visionary that we lost today and his contributions will live on forever.

#55"My childhood was elegant homes, tree-lined streets, the milkman, building backyard forts, droning airplanes, blue skies, picket fences, green grass, cherry trees. Middle America as it's supposed to be. But on the cherry tree there's this pitch oozing out – some black, some yellow, and millions of red ants crawling all over it.

Reminiscent of the opening scene of Blue Velvet.

#56Oh man! that's depressing... I always remember the appearances he made on "Louie", as a talent agent... He was so funny, I choose to believe that he wasn't acting at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlEJbs02wAM

#58Sad to hear. Personally I think I've only seen Mulholland Drive before, but long time ago. I enjoy surreal movies in general, so kind of weird I haven't seen more of Lynch's work. What personal favorites do other HNers have, of what he'd done?
What Did Jack Do? (netflix)
His PS2 commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Laf9vpJMDjA

Aside from his films, I'd also suggest his still art (here's a video of him walking through an exhibition of his work at his alma mater: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmkJ3ff22gI). He's also got his music (I should note, the video was not directed by Lynch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IugOfDBWcGc

Man I wonder if he knew what the neighbors got up to when their spouses were out of town.
