David Lynch - Viewing Order?
So, I've seen two David Lynch films. Mulholland Dr., which I thought was simply brilliant on all levels, and delivered the single best performance I have ever seen (the acting segment from Noami Watts) - and Lost Highway, which I didn't like quite so much.
I've decided to Marathon all of his films this weekend, and was wondering which order is suggested? I left out Twin Peaks, as well as the movie, due to not having them. My interest in each is as follows... The Elephant Man (least) Wild At Heart Eraserhead Blue Velvet (most)

Don't forget Dune (not the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries), probably my favorite of his movies (along with Twin Peaks) as it has this bizarre Sci-Fi/Action story.
Out of those that you have, that you haven't seen. I would watch Blue Velvet first only as I think it's his best out of those four and much more entertaining.

Elephant Man is amazing!
I'd do Eraserhead last...as it will cloud your mind and not allow you to properly digest anything else for days. So I'd do it: 1. WILD AT HEART - it's the Wizard of Oz done in Lynch's fetish world 2. ELEPHANT MAN - amazing acting, cinematography and story with odd bits of Lynchian weirdness thrown in. 3. BLUE VELVET - sexy, dirty and fun. 4. ERASERHEAD - like it or not, it will stay with you. Quite possibly the most tactile film of all time.

I agree with Mr Usher do what he says or there will be trouble.

As Mothman said, I indulge myself quite often in the magic that is Eraserhead. It's incredible, really; it touches upon just about every worldly issue there is, and subtly pokes at us until we're sick, and we want to do something...but we can't. I hope that made sense. Anyway, PM me for a few interesting links on further thought on the film...after you've seen it. Besides that, all the films you mentioned are good ones.

Chew on this: http://www.geocities.com/~mikehartma...ers/wolfe.html It's the analysis that comes closest to mine, and that I've found is incredibly well supported. It's an intricate layout; read this, and then watch it again. Or watch it again and read this. Whatever.
