  • Excellent post @FoxRox Completely agree on your top 4 Lynch films. Exactly the same as my own. Blue Velvet is one of the greatest American films ever made IMO I also agree on INLAND EMPIRE The only film of his i really dislike. From what i …
  • I got half way through The Joker and gave up. I found what i watched derivative and shallow. It's insulting that it's connected to the DC character.

  • Your post seems a bit 'political' to me. But there will always be the Spy genre, just like there will always be Cop movies. There will always be drama and action in the Spy genre. Bond, Bourne, Mission Impossible. All big money makers.

  • David Lynch was a true original. No one else like him before or ever again. Thanks for all the dark dreams. 'In Heaven everything is fine..'
