Absolutely amazing film from the master of confusion. One girl is amnesiac after a traffic accident she walked away from, the other is a too good to be true little Miss Perfect recently arrived in LA from Canada, and the two set out, against the background of a corrupt film industry, to discover the former's identity, and in doing so open a Pandora's Box. Professionally made, brilliantly scripted, great cameo characters, some amazing scenes, (and containing one of the most erotic lesbian scenes in cinema history). The five star rating is somewhat cautionary, the film is, after all, from the master of pretension and obtuseness!

One of the strangest films ever made. A monochrome nightmare that launched David Lynch to stardom; inspired Twin Peaks and was the first step, some might say, on his voyage up his own back passage. Extraordinarily disturbing and fantastic.Why doesn't he make them like this any more? Twisted genius.

It's sick, it's weird, it's spooky, but it's compulsive viewing. Forget Brat Packs and Rambo, this is the dark side to America. Beneath the squeaky clean surface lurk neuroses and perversions, degradation and despair. Brilliantly done, this film will haunt you.

Another cult classic from David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks). Sailor and Laura are madly in love but her psychotic mother is having none of it, so they hit the road and begin an adventure peppered with plenty of sex, violence and manic music. Black, broody and very funny, this is a wild movie.

Lynch's masterful response to the axing of Twin Peaks, a dark, sensual and terrifyingfilm. As seductive as it is repulsive, and the inspiration behind the legendary Flicks Kino. "Bleak, nihilistic and haunting, Lynch's prequel to his infamous TV hit is a moody and surreal fever dream of trauma. Anchored by a career best performance by Sheryl Lee, Fire Walk With Me lingers long after the credits roll" - Joe Lipsett, Anatomy of a Scream

This may seem like a radical change of direction for director David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet) but look closely and you'll still see signs of his trademark eccentricity in this quirky little true story. Veteran stuntman Richard Farnsworth plays crabby old bugger Alvin Straight, who, wanting to visit his ailing brother, sets off on a 300 mile journey through several American states on a lawnmower. Yes, that's right, a lawnmower. And that really is about it. There are no plot twists or serial killers, just a few people - some odd, some perfectly normal - who he chats to about his life along the way, and the absolutely worst thing that happens to Alvin is when his hat blows off. Gentle, hypnotically relaxing and beautifully filmed, this has to be the most unusual road movie ever made.
