Eraserhead (1977)

The Film That Started It All

“Well, this is what started it all. This paved the path for a legend. Not only did Lynch go on to become the greatest director in history, but he also created the best directorial debut of all time. This is a true surrealist masterpiece. It is so weird, highly disturbing, and, at times, absolutely hilarious. The way Nance walks and talks always cracks me up. The scenes at the dinner table is just about as weird (and hilarious) as any you'll ever seen. Not only is this a great dark comedy/surreal film, it is also a horror film, and a terrifying one at that. It is just so strange and it gives you that feel of hopelessness. It also has a deep philosophical message to it, but that is definitely up to interpretation, as is most of Lynch's works. Overall, this is yet another great effort by Lynch” read more

"The King of WTF films starts off with a surrealistic bang. Though I had heard of this movie for quite a while, despite being a David Lynch fan, it took a long time before I got around to watching it.

I guess it was b'cuz, as a comicbook nerd, I was kinda hoping that the story was going to be more "

"24.04. PC/TV, 1st viewing DIRECTED BY David Lynch No idea why I didn't see this until now, being somewhat of a Lynch fan. Glad I did finally, it's a solid film and maybe even Lynch's best visually. The sound design is also brilliant. I interpreted it as a film about the fears and anxiety of a young man but what makes the film fun is the ambiguity and unpredictable, at times hilarious surrealism. "
