movies that have been at the top of my to-see list for a long time for reasons not unrelated to their possible Lynchian-ness:
Tetsuo The Iron ManThe Reflecting SkinGreaser's PalaceNight Dreams (nsfw googling as this is a porn film)Liquid Sky (??? prolley not ???)
has anyone seen these? can they attest to the possible affinities to that which is Lynch-esque?
also:
Egoyan's The Adjuster REALLY freaked me out
you might do worse than ot check out certainanime titles. I'm thinking of FLCL and especially Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie which is fascinating in its nonlinearity...familiar with only the bare essentials of the original teen girls' anime series, but apparently the movie is related to the series the same way that Fire Walk With Me* is related to Twin Peaks...
*didn't FWIW top the box offices in Japan when it first came out?

actually not true, the movie is not a prequel, but an alternate reality set-up with the lesbian overtones amped up and the themes all turned on their head...still good stuff though...

Lynch id the producer of the new Herzog movie:My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233219/
looks promising

also,more surprising, the Alejandro Jodorowsky comeback movie:"king shot" with Nick Nolte,Asia Argento and Marilyn Manson,now THAT i want to see!!http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892411/
― Zeno, Thursday, 12 February 2009 04:10 (fifteen years ago) link
"The story is to be set in a casino in the desert. The film involves gangsters, the discovery of a man as big as King Kong, and Marilyn Manson is said to portray a 300 year old pope. "

tetsuo is rad. no similarity to lynch other than that it's weird and super alienated - plus b&w like eraserhead & elepant mans
the reflecting skin is surreal & creepy coming of age thing, about the evil that lurks under the skin of the everday, so blue velvety, but not deeply so
greaser's palace is more like "zany" wokka-wokka american version of jodorowsky
night dreams is a new-wavey, very self-consciously surreal porn flick, but pretty cool for what it is. cafe flesh by the same crew might be better. they also made the erotic but non-pronographical dr. caligari. all are arty student film awkward, but also unique, campy and fun. probably closer to forbidden zone than to lynch (but nowhere near as relentlessly zany)
liquid sky is another new-wave artifakt, and by far the most low-budget flick on the list. none of these last three even remotely resemble lynch, but i love em all.

the adjuster is pretty much follows yr description of reflecting skin, except there are no scifi overtones that i can remember...also super-alienated...but with egoyan's trademark revealing style giving it the frame work...
(not saying you haven't seen it though...just for the record...)
― googling 'Ineedagirlfriend.com' (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 12 February 2009 04:24 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't remember whether or not i've seen the adjuster. i think not. i think i've only seen family viewing and the sweet hereafter. maybe one more? anyway, i should go back and watch all the egoyan i missed. love the two i can remember. anyway, no sci-fi in the reflecting skin, either. tetsuo, liquid sky and night dreams are the sci-fi-ier ones.

The Passion of Darkly Noon, Philip Ridley's second film also has Lynchian qualities, though the drama is more straightforward and there isn't as much humor. It's well worth the watch anyway, don't be scared by the fact that it co-stars Brendan Fraser.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 12 February 2009 09:56 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, i thought some lady was like a vampire and there were weird guys riding around in limousines stealing children...who were also vampires...or something...for some reason i got the impression that the reflecting skin had a really dour donnie darko vibe to it...
i heard of the passion of darkly noon...that sounded really goo too...i think these movies are pretty unknown in the states...?

what bunuel would be good to start with?
― Local Garda, Sunday, 22 February 2009 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't see much connection between Buñuel and Lynch at all, besides some vague common theme of surrealism. Buñuel is much more playful and leftist/liberal than Lynch. Belle du Jour is the best one of his that I've seen, but it's also one of his less surreal movies.

Possible Worlds - I'd forgotten about this until this thread jogged ye olde memorybanks: A 2000 French-Canadian film featuring a pre-stardom Tilda Swinton I saw at a film festival years ago. If you dig the parallel realities/intersecting identity crises side of Lynch, this does a respectable job with similar themes.

I think as a sort of rule, anytime you're at a bar with people, whenever one of them orders a heineken you should be obliged to yell "Heineken! what the fuck is that shit, Pabst Blue Ribbon!" and punch them in the stomach.

those short interviews of U.S small-town-locals are the most humanistic (along with The Straight Story) things he done, and one of his best projects in general imo.great job.

OK, does anyone here watch The Cleveland Show? This past Sunday's episode featured Lynch in an extended voice role as a bartender. When the character showed up, I was like, "Is that guy supposed to be David Lynch?" And the more he talked, I realized it really was him. Utterly weird. It's at Hulu if you want to see it.

there's a fair bit of comedy and as I said elsewhere it works really well as a satire of wholesome 50's Americana but to giggle throughout is coarse

giggling i can understand, sure, but not riotous laughing. i couldnt tell if it was film nerds showing how clever clever they were or just stupid people unable to treat it seriously. it was at the pcc yeah. i do like that cinema a lot, but sometimes you get some really fucking weird people there. eg - when i saw funny games one guy (maybe he was there last night too) just kept laughing at some of the most disturbing moments!
