He's a weird guy, but he grows on you. Been watching the new Twin Peaks and rewatching the old show and movie, and I feel it's as relevant a time as ever.
Eraserhead (1977) - Trippy black and what tale of industrial living, mass production, and goddamn mutant babies filled with horrid puss! This movie is great to watch if you're baked out of your mind.
Blue Velvet (1986) - Kyle M, Laura Dern, and Dennis Hopper are great in this. It's kinda confusing the first dozen times, but it kinda makes sense eventually. Still a solid movie though.
Twin Peaks (1990-1991) - A wonderfully quirky show filled with lounge music, and other great music pieces that set the mood of any scene. A good tv show needs good theme music, and that's one of the reasons Twin Peaks is great. Of course, there's a lot of great actors in the show, and the setting is great too.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) - You'd really have to watch the show to understand this movie, but if you're into it, the movie is actually a pretty emotional experience. It makes me sad everytime I watch it. Pretty horrific too, when compared to the show. David Lynch never strays from an R-rating if he can help it.
Mulholland Drive (2001) - I watched it once, and I immediately forgot it. I might've watched it a second time, but I forget that too. It didn't grab me though. I think I need to watch it another 8 times.
Twin Peaks (2017) - So far, it's total Lynch, and as satisfying as ever.
I need to check out Lost Highway and Inland Empire soon, and probably whatever else he's done.
Thoughts on DAVID LYNCH?

I don't know what is confusing about Blue Velvet.. My favourite film of his and somewhere in my top 50 films.
I've just finished the second season of Twin Peaks, so will be watching Fire Walk With Me next (which, you mentions the R rating, I noticed has been downrated from an 18 certificate to a 15 here in the UK) and then catching up on The Return..
I need to rewatch Mullholland Drive too, as it didn't grab me either the first time.
You should check out his two most "normal" films, The Elephant Man and The Straight Story, which is quite enjoyable too.. Been too long since I saw Dune but it is probably his weakest film, or is at least regarded to be so.. Oh and there's Wild At Heart which I kind of liked.. but not as much as Lost Highway.
