Only David Lynch film I've seen is Dune.
These two are in HMV's three for twenty. But then the Lynch boxset is on amazon for around £17 but doesn't include The Ephelump Man. |
Both are fantastic films, and easily surpass Dune (which is one of Lynch's weakest films in my opinion). The Elephant Man is a brilliant and moving biopic with great performances from John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins, whilst Eraserhead is Lynch's first full length work which he made in college, and is a mad fusion of fractured black and white and nightmare visuals; themes which would go on to fill a lot of Lynch's later work.
I own the Studio Canal BD of The Elephant Man, and it is a superb release, but don't own the UK BD of Eraserhead - I'm personally holding out for the Criterion edition, as I am pretty certain that it will be a better release.
