But the actors in these movies are good to me (especially Kyle McLachlan), it's not the question whether they're superstar or not.


Heh. Well, Dune and Elephant Man are his worst and least Lynch-like films. But to each their own!

I thought Pineapple Express was ok but I heard so much damn hype & it was meh

Death Proof is totally unforgivable though. I do not want to watch 30 minutes of 4 girls talking to each other in a car.

Yeah, I read a recent Tarantino article where even he admitted the film "didn't work", though I kinda think he only said that because it didn't make any money and he didn't want people to think that's the direction he was going in for his new movies.

The fifteen-minute mark of any film seems to be at the point I decide whether it's too dull to continue or keep watching. So I don't usually reach the point that I think it's going to get better. I turned off After Hours, though, after a very short time because it turned us all off.

As much as I adore Lynch and know where you're coming from, I disagree.

Mulholland Drive was supposed to have been a tv series,
but got turned down by the big boys when Lynch showed them a mockup.
Diehard Lynch fans were quite disappointed when it eventually came out as a feature film.
Not surprising, the film is so incomplete, it hurts.

I'd also like to add that Lost Highway has the worst actors Lynch ever used.
They just don't suit his films - and by 'they' I mean Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in Wild at Heart, blows them both away.

Slap!
Have you seen What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
In my opinion, that's his best performance to date.

Something else I'd like to point out is that there are very rarely "actors" in Lynch's films. In fact, it's probably more accurate to call them "reactors"... they react to bizarre situations.

The Island.

Actually, you can add "all movies by Michael Bay" into this thread. Except maybe Armageddon.

I actually like Armageddon. Maybe it's because I went to see it expecting to loathe it and I still can't honestly think of anything particularly good about it. I suppose Michael Bay is just one of those filmmakers that I dislike in principal but usually find myself quite enjoying.
