DUNE (1984)

The first film version of Frank Herbert’s best-selling sci-fi novel was directed by David Lynch, of all people, and I found it both extremely watchable and an astounding disaster.

BLUE VELVET (1986)

An, um, unique take on the dark underbelly of a small town from David Lynch, sort of the proto-Twin Peaks.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST (1975)

Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher star in a drama about an insane asylum that is actually a metaphor for LIFE.
