Amazing by bod33	Jun 30th, 2008 12:22:23 AM
An incredible movie, everyone in front and behind the camera are on top form.

Great movie.
Damn great movie by Mezzanine	Jun 30th, 2008 12:24:25 AM
I too wish we could get more mainstream Lynch. Although, I think that even his greatest mainstream movies pale in comparison to his masterpiece: Erasherhead.
Yeah, good movie.. by Aethyrr	Jun 30th, 2008 12:31:58 AM
..or the "Least Lynch" movie made by Lynch, as I say (or something like that--my english isn't that good and I can't quite translate my idea of this film..)
One of the best movies ever! by ganymede3010	Jun 30th, 2008 12:32:30 AM
One of the few Black and White films that I've really enjoyed.
The sound design by BenBraddock	Jun 30th, 2008 12:43:56 AM
was fantastic too. Those industrial sounds and the trademark Lynchian bass sound - heavy, low-notes that help build that oppressiveness that the film has, in the beginning at least.. brilliant. This really was a case of everyone involved doing their best work. From casting director, through sound designer to makeup artist (Chris Tucker I think). Masterpiece.
The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet by fiester	Jun 30th, 2008 12:49:31 AM
Then it all went to decadent, dream-logic wanking for Lynch.
Glad you liked it!!! by s00p3rm4n	Jun 30th, 2008 12:49:58 AM
I still maintain that Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks are Lynch's best hybrids of the insane and the understandable.

Amazing film!!!, great comments by quantize	Jun 30th, 2008 01:05:53 AM
before the special school brigade get in with the completely worn out jokes... this is an incredible film and YES, we need Lynch directing more mainstream movies again..what he brings to a solid narrative creates amazing experiences.

Released the same year as Scorsese's Raging Bull! by Powers Boothe	Jun 30th, 2008 01:13:29 AM
Two outstanding period films both deliberately shot in black and white. Speaking of black and white: I dig Coppola's underrated 1983 film Rumble Fish too.
Hey Quint! by Powers Boothe	Jun 30th, 2008 01:19:07 AM
For later titles in this series, can you include a few of those great (but underrated) Walter Hill films from the 80s? I'd love to see someone on this site give a little love to Hill's misunderstood genre flicks like Streets of Fire, Extreme Prejudice or Johnny Handsome. Hopefully you haven't already seen 'em all.
I'm a man! I'm 40! Come after me! by Cotton McKnight	Jun 30th, 2008 01:29:40 AM

That's exactly right, Rupee88 by Cotton McKnight	Jun 30th, 2008 01:39:12 AM
I hope you are under 30 because I fully plan on taking your brilliant observation one step further and pushing for a Logan's Run type society. There is no place for imperfection in our world. The "elephant man" had no value to us or to himself.
My underrated junk movie recommendations: by fiester	Jun 30th, 2008 01:45:02 AM
1970's "Joe" with Peter Boyle. Fucking awesome movie about hippies. Add that one to your list. Oh and 1985's "Tuff Turf" with James Spader as The New Kid. Classic. And for good measure add in 1982's "Last American Virgin." Most underrated coming-of-age comedy ever (watch with gut-curdling cringing as the protagonist gets pwned by the chick in the end--if ever there was a more unflinching movie about how much chicks suck, it's this movie. Heh.)
Anger! Hostility towards the opposition! by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 30th, 2008 01:59:02 AM
Aaaaaangeeeeeer!!!
Chapter-breaks? by BenBraddock	Jun 30th, 2008 02:28:11 AM
I have it on dvd - no chapter breaks. Or at least I don't think so, must look
Last American Virgin was great. by Pops Freshemeyer	Jun 30th, 2008 03:10:16 AM
Or at least I remember it being pretty awesome when I watched it on HBO back in the mid 80s when I was like 12 or 13...
Mel Brooks by Shoegeezer	Jun 30th, 2008 03:59:15 AM
Let's not forget Mel Brooks' contribution to this, the film was produced for his Brooksfilm company. Considering Lynch had only made Eraserhead by this point you have to give Brooks some props for seeing "mainstream" potential in such a unique talent. Brooksfilm also handed The Fly to Cronenberg. Brooks really knows his movies. Also, Christopher Tucker's prosthetic make-up work is among the finest.
Lynch doesn't like DVD chapters by Circean6	Jun 30th, 2008 04:01:28 AM
He doesn't have them in The Straight Story DVD either. If I read it right he wants them to be "a whole experience" when viewing.
"Can I have a bun, please...?!" by Charlie & Tex	Jun 30th, 2008 04:07:12 AM
Sorry couldn't resist it. The Elephant man is a great movie and probably one of the best examples of a period movie where there is a genuine feeling of authenticity to the thing. Sterling stuff!
Weird... by RawShark13	Jun 30th, 2008 04:07:53 AM
I almost watched this earlier today for the first time ever, too... But chose to watch Casino instead.
Elephant Man 'least' Lynch? by half vader	Jun 30th, 2008 04:18:41 AM
Go watch Eraserhead then Elephant Man. It's amazing how similar they are (you can't even really argue that the storytelling in EM is more linear). Not to mention the sound design similarities! Good on Mel Brooks for having the balls to make both this and Cronenberg's The Fly I say! Cotton, the effectiveness of this story/the man contradicts you and myopic views of humanity. Then again, I guess you were joking. Otherwise I'll now refer to you as Hitler.
Oh and Quint, first Cool Hand Luke then this? by half vader	Jun 30th, 2008 04:20:41 AM
But in a way I do envy your ignorance of these classics.
Quint! by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 30th, 2008 04:32:37 AM
What are you playing at man? Can't believe you hadn't seen this before. Lynch's best film by miles, an absolute stormer. The dolly in on Anthony Hopkins reaction as he sees Merrick for the first time is one of the all-time great moments in cinema. Glad you liked it Quint and I agree, Lynch should make more films like this one.
Propper Heartbreaking by FILMFUNK	Jun 30th, 2008 04:33:57 AM
When he talks about his mother and when he goes to bed at the end! fuck me i just crack everytime. Lynch at his most coherent and powerful and one of the best movies ever made about the best and worst in Humans! If you didn't know it was Lynch you'd never guess unlike his weirdy stuff like Mulholand drive which was ace or Inland Empire which was poo!
FILMFUNK by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 30th, 2008 04:41:48 AM
One of the greatest endings to a film ever.
Wonderful effort this by Lost Jarv	Jun 30th, 2008 04:51:21 AM
absolutely brilliant. You've had some good ones on that list Quint.
Oops, missed your post shoegeezer by half vader	Jun 30th, 2008 04:55:45 AM
but I agree, wholeheartedly. Kinky name, mate. I hope you're talking chicks in heels, not something weird like workboots or boring like trainers! As for Christopher Tucker, there's a book called Special Effects (well there are many called that, but it's-) by Pascal Pinteau, which shows the very first colour pictures of the makeup, as well as Tucker applying it. As well as retelling that favourite old story about how the production only got in touch with him for info on makeup suppliers, then came begging for him to do it when the initial test (supposedly Lynch himself had designed a HARD/RIGID prosthetic!!) failed completely. I do hope one day Lynch tells us how he did Eraserhead though. Skinned rabbit or not, that thing was pretty cool. I bet he won't though, like a good magician.
I don't care if you mock me.. by TheAllSeeingEye	Jun 30th, 2008 04:56:11 AM
But this is the only movie that actually makes me choke up. I love the movie, but daren't watch it for fear of tearing up and looking stupid. It's definately one of the best movies I've ever seen. Glad you've watched it Quint,just surprised no one has insisted you watch it earlier :)
FILMFUNK by half vader	Jun 30th, 2008 04:59:26 AM
Like I say, watch it and Eraserhead. I don't know how you could possibly think anyone BUT Lynch made Elephant Man. Not dissing you mate, just genuinely surprised, that's all.
Allseeing by half vader	Jun 30th, 2008 05:01:44 AM
Hey mate, haven't seen you 'round here for a while. No, I think pretty much everyone around here understands, and it'd be a heartless prick that mocked anyone for misting up at this one.

Great job Quint. I need to see this too.
Haven't seen this or Straight Story by MediaNerd	Jun 30th, 2008 06:42:04 AM
Haven't necessarily avoided them, but never watched them as they seemed to neuter what was unique about Lynch. Guess I'll have to re-evaluate that idea and give them a look.

That well made Lifetime movie won over RAGING BULL and ELEPHANT MAN and Redford must be a better director that Scorcesse and Lynch. But God bless Mary Tyler Moore. What a perfect bitch she was in that movie.

Funny how people always think of Platoon... by Knuckleduster	Jun 30th, 2008 07:56:14 AM
... when they hear Barber's Adagio for Strings, even though Elephant Man used it 6 years before Platoon did. Elephant Man's use of the music is also far more moving, in my opinion. Also, isn't it funny that Elephant Man and Raging Bull were released in the same year (both incredible black-and-white films at a time when everyone thought they'd never see a black-and-white movie ever again). And both these films' lead characters use the phrase "I am not an animal". Freaky.

Why was there a 4 year gap between... by Powers Boothe	Jun 30th, 2008 09:10:10 AM
The Elephant Man and Lynch's next film, Dune? I wonder when he was hired for Dune. I'll guess filming started in '83. What was Lynch up to, directly after The Elephant Man?
I've never made it through Raging Bull by CherryValance	Jun 30th, 2008 09:36:42 AM
There, I said it. And I've tried a couple times. I might as well go ahead and admit that as a general rule I don't enjoy Scorcese movies. It seems like he focuses on stuff that I'd never really pay attention to. And the characters are often people I find pretty repugnant like in Goodfellas. ORDINARY PEOPLE was really good. I'm assuming at the time there was a similar outrage at that win, as their was when SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE beat SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. You can probably guess what camp I was in on that one too.

It looks and sounds fantastic. Highly recommend it if you can find a copy (and still have a player, obviously).

Eraserhead on Blu-ray, too. You know, to make the experience even MORE vivid! - Just like regular chickens!! Cherry, it's cool. The people that think SPR is genius (including Academy members) seem to mainly focus on the start, and forget about the dead bits, and the apalling melodrama and jingoism with the beating of chests and tear-in-the-eye over-the-top salutes and all. Maybe, like 'Contact', if you ran it backwards it would get better and better...

Elephant man in From Hell by Rameses	Jun 30th, 2008 10:41:52 AM
No ones mentioned that From Hell has a pretty good Elephant man , though it was a bit of a pointless cameo , and though more accurate in appearance , lacked the pathetic look of john Hurts make-up.And if peaple find the front view of Merrick disturbing , the back view is even worse , he looked exactly like a pile of cauliflowers.His skeleton was seriously messed up as well.His skull looked like its covered in deep sea coral.It's amazing a guy could be that seriously deformed and still function to any degree.The film is a classic I might add.

Rameses by Powers Boothe	Jun 30th, 2008 11:25:43 AM

Acting that rocked! by INDIETHIS	Jun 30th, 2008 12:48:16 PM
One of the BEST movies of all time - and Hurt just downright nailed the performance - and really - Hopkins has never been better - now I love Lector - but the skills it took Hopkins to pull off this character - the subtleness of the character... one of the best screen performances. Great movie - I remember seeing it in the theater and this big ol guy in the row ahead of me - balling at the end of the movie.

Lynchisms by fuldamobil	Jun 30th, 2008 12:52:24 PM
I've always felt this film was very consistent with Lynch's other work. It deals with some of his favorite themes like horror and identity. One of my favorite moments is when the camera zooms into the opening in Merrick's mask. It's exactly like when we enter the world in (behind?) the radiator in Eraserhead. I watch this movie every few years and it always blows me away. Can you imagine it getting nominated for Best Picture today?

Feel obligated to post because... by DanielKurland	Jun 30th, 2008 04:24:13 PM
The scene where Merrick and the woman read Romeo and Juliet together, and she treats him like a regular person, and even kisses him is so fucking beautiful. It's definitely not the least Lynch movie though. Stuff like the elephant at the beginning is classic Lynch. The Straight Story is definitely Lynch at his most un-Lynch like (although he'd probably argue that Dune is the least like him).
Maniaq, convince me on Straight Story... by DanielKurland	Jun 30th, 2008 04:31:27 PM
I love Lynch to death. I've seen everything he's done, including some really obscure stuff, but talk to me about why you like The Straight Story over all his other stuff. Granted, I've only seen it once, but it kind of bored me. I understand the simplicity of it, and how it's not supposed to be "exciting". I get the emotion. I think the performances are great, but besides some beautiful cinematography (that does get repetitious eventually), there's no way I can say this film offers anything nearly as good as some of the stuff in Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, INLAND EMPIRE, or even Wild at Heart. I'm not attacking or criticizing your opinion. I WANT to like the movie more. But is there anything more to it than a simple touching story being told in a simple touching way?
Powers Boothe, what Lynch was up to... by DanielKurland	Jun 30th, 2008 04:42:14 PM
Lynch was mostly trying to get his pet project "Ronnie Rocket" made during this time and was even doing location scouting and principle photography for it while they were in London for Elephant Man. Mel Brooks and Brooksfilms tried to help him, but things just didn't work out. He eventually met up with Dino De Laurentis and again, more movies almost took place, including an adaptation Lynch was working on of Kafka's Metamorphosis. De Laurentis offerred Lynch to direct Red Dragon . Lynch read it and wasn't a fan (and this later went to Michael Mann, and became Manhunter). De Laurentis eventually presented Lynch with Dune. Lynch read it, enjoyed it, and started working on it (as well as partly finishing the script of a sequel which he considered better than the original Dune). Lynch had issues with De Laurentis and not having final cut and making a lot of compromises on the film, but he eventually was allowed to keep these liberties with Blue Velvet (albeit taking a pay cut), which De Laurentis produced. After Blue Velvet, Lynch became pretty well established.
watched this for the first time last week by BurgerKing	Jun 30th, 2008 04:48:10 PM
amazing movie, looks great, is creepy and atmospheric first half then really tears at the heart strings in the second half. Good character centric film.

Lynch is always coherent. Did it ever occur . . . by lavaboat	Jun 30th, 2008 07:21:10 PM
Did it ever occur to you that maybe some of his stuff is outside of your intellectual register? Could it be possible that some of his stuff is actually radically coherent? God forbid somebody should actually admit that maybe certain material exists a plane they simply don't have access to.
Yes, Lynch does make sense... by DanielKurland	Jun 30th, 2008 07:33:54 PM
When I saw INLAND EMPIRE the second time I completely understood what was going on. Lynch firmly understands and believes what he's working with at all times.
My favorite part of the movie by ufoclub1977	Jul 1st, 2008 12:28:02 AM
Is when he goes to see the theatre show and enjoys and loses himself in delight to the surreal spectacle. For once he has lost himself (without self consciousness) in a moment that seems dazzling from his perspective . He's laughing with joy.
