I'm sure they'll degrade eventually, but knowing that I can just throw on The Return whenever I like and watch in the best quality available is a wonderful thing.

Fire Walk With Me and Eraserhead are both permanent fixtures on criterion channel, and Blue Velvet is on there currently with some cool featurettes. Criterion also has many of Lynch's shorts, including Dumbland, which is very enjoyable. EH is also on HBO Max right now.

Dune is available on Amazon through a Starz account. The Return is available there with a Showtime account.

Elephant Man is not currently streaming on any subscription services, however, this one does appear on streaming services pretty often.

Mulholland Drive is available on Mubi currently, and is also really popular on streaming services, so I wouldn't be shocked if it jumped to Amazon or Netflix at some point.

Neither Lost Highway and Inland Empire are available for streaming currently, nor are they available for purchase digitally, due to the recent remasters they just put in theaters. Physical releases are coming, and I wouldn't be shocked if either of them ended up on Criterion Channel sometime next year, but it'll be a wait.

The Straight Story is currently available on Disney+

Looks like Twin Peaks s1-2 are on Paramount Plus. The Return is on Showtime, possibly also in some Showtime add-on for Hulu and/or Amazon, haven't tried that.

I use that site justwatch to see where stuff is streaming usually. Blue Velvet for example is on a bunch of stuff, hoopla, kanopy, criterion etc. Or renting.

Saw the Lost Highway restoration last night. Now that's a hell of a movie. I'm still thinking about it 12 hours later. It's the kind of movie that really burrows its way in your brain.

Lost Highway was the only Lynch film I couldn't finish because there was such an oppressive sense of dread in it. I'm not sure what happens but I can tell you something very bad was going to happen in that house

If you never plan on finishing it at least watch the car chase scene on YouTube or whatever.

But also please finish it at some point it’s great.

Probably about 50 minutes in? Honestly I love how much dread Lynch can put into filming an empty house, he really understands the foreboding of mundane locations in a way I've seen very few directors even aim for

the first half of lost highway in the house is about as scary as david lynch gets. i love all of that stuff.

second half kinda loses me. it's basically another movie bolted on, so if you're worried about enduring another hour of dread, you're safe to continue on.

Shout out to this thread for the Lost Highway tip. I saw it last night, almost totally blind (I had seen the mystery man phone scene). I really thought I had it figured out till the last 30 minutes or so.

I don't think I quite get everything yet but I loved every second. It's so moody and the lighting and lack thereof was used so well. Also, great soundtrack.

If anything the last 30 minutes tie it all together.

Every time I watch it these days I think "oh this is actually perfectly straightforward" but I couldn't explain it for the life of me.

it's essentially the same explanation as Mulholland Dr

which is kind of funny because the short version is, "it was all a dream" which is the most hacky, cop out trick imaginable, except that David Lynch is so loving good that he pulls it off. But the funny part is that his daughter directed a movie with the same gimmick, Boxing Helena, and that movie is trrrrraaaaaaaasshhhh.

Yeah, one of the things I love about Lost Highway is how there’s a pretty clear and decipherable story there. It’s still open to interpretation, but it works just fine without huge leaps of convoluted dream logic once you have a framework for the “rules” of the movie. Just a really great show. Also agree that the last chunk of movie is why it works and doesn’t slide up its own rear end into “it was all a dream/hallucination” territory.

Edit: ^^^Lost Highway is not a dream.

That's part of the beauty of Lynch movies, the interpretation and personal things you get watching it. I myself tend to, much like Twin Peaks, I look at his stuff such as Lost Highway as a surreal dreamlike reality, but it is reality to me in the story. I don't tend to look for a real world explanation, since I guess that makes it have less wonder for me.

I keep forgetting Boxing Helena was related to David Lynch, and also that it made enough of an impact to become the name of an emotionally intense episode of Daria.

It might help that whole debacle make sense to know the movie was written by someone unrelated, and he roped Jennifer Lynch into it based on seeing her at a poetry reading, and she initially called the script trash.

I don't think it's a matter of semantics at all, because it's not the difference between a dream and a fugue state that I care about. When someone says it was all a dream, the implication is that it was all just in his head. I think it seems clear that everything in Lost Highway is really happening, which is waaaay more interesting to me. What if a person is in something akin to a psychogenic fugue and the real world and its rules rearrange to conform to what he wants and needs them to be? What if turns out some other people may have some influence on what's real too? And what happens if those people are deeply enmeshed in intense interpersonal conflict and wish to do each other harm? Holy poo poo, that's such a cool premise.

Well, it took me 3 or 4 times to really GET Mulholland Drive. Looking forward to watching Lost Highway again.

For now, my jokey understanding is that two men are changing places every time their relationship with Patricia Arquette gets unbearable

Mulholland Drive is amazing and my second favourite film of all time but I don’t see how it takes people multiple views to get it. It’s the only Lynch movie that can really be explained in one sentence and that explanation makes everything slot into place. I guess if you never read anything up online about it it makes sense.

Episode 8 was amazingly good, I laughed my rear end off that Lynch got a piece that is essentially suited for a weird niche short meter fesival, got aired on loving Showtime for all unsuspecting public to see.

I just rewatched Eraserhead (got the Blu-Ray in the recent Criterion sale) and :stonklol:

It's still just as terrifying as when I first saw it as a teenager. Makes me glad I'm not a parent because I don't think I'd be any good at handling it.

I'm up to episode 14 in my rewatch with two friends who are watching for the first time. They're both loving it, I'm glad to say. I do, however, have to report an incident of someone not liking (part of) episode 8. He found the sequence going into the mushroom cloud where the film is all scratched up and burned to be "repetitive and self-indulgent". Also I think Threnody drove him mad.

He's a good friend so no :sever: but he's definitely on my potential tulpa watchlist

My gf and I have been watching the show over the past two months. We just finished season 3. She is distraught that there's no resolution or ending to the show. I keep telling her that there may be another season if Lynch gets the mental energy to move forward with good ideas, but that it also will probably end with a vague ending that you are suppose to interpret for yourself lmbo

She was also super pissy about the Dougie plot being like 16 episodes long and [real] Cooper being back only for two and a half, but I thought it was a great long-con troll by Lynch. What a magnificent bastard.

Episode 8 was some of his best material imho.

I'm still not sure how to coalesce all of the lore into a coherent narrative, but I don't think I'm suppose to be able to do so?
