I kind of like Dune, too.  It's just that I like all of his other movies (including Straight Story, Wild at Heart, and Fire Walk with Me) better.

I also like Dune more than Inland Empire, with the exception of the pretty awesome first 1/10 of Inland Empire.

If anyone I cared for told me they loved The Boondock Saints, that person would be out of my life forever.

I met a nice lady that I was very interested in, and then she showed me her Boondock Saints tattoos.

Even Lynch admitted that Inland Empire kind of failed.  I still haven't seen it yet.

What? When did he say this? Inland Empire is my favorite Lynch movie.

Inland Empire is my least favorite Lynch movie, but I also want to know when he said that.

He said it in this interview for AFI.  He starts talking about Inland Empire at the 8:05 mark. At one point the interviewer asks if he liked the approach Lynch used to make the moview and Lynch says "no." Maybe I over-interpreted it but I think that says a lot.

This is one that EVERYONE is still telling me I HAVE TO SEE. I'll never see it - I've put my foot down.

My least favorite Lynch movie is probably <i>Lost Highway</i>.  Movie didn't age well for me (90s industrial soundtrack, a poor idea) and I've never been able to establish any sense of sympathy with any of the characters whatsoever.

I recently saw Palindromes and now I hate Todd Solondz forever and ever. And yeah, Little Miss Sunshine was a letdown.



I just thought of one...effing The Fountain. Should have trusted my instincts on that one, but people were like "it's amazing!" "it will change your life!" 

After it was over my boyfriend declared that the whole thing was like some weird, live-action Tool album cover. I agreed. What a boring, pointless movie. Terrible acting, too.

I liked Rushmore, but the affected quirkiness of Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic really bugged me.  I got tired of the quirky indie aesthetic right before RT came out, I guess.  Bottle Rocket I saw but don't remember.  RT was merely bad, but Life Aquatic was plain terrible.  I have no interest in seeing Darjeeling.  His movies just seem to be posturing to me.

The road from Wes Anderson leads right to Juno.  You know that.

Bottle Rocket is probably his least quirky.

As much as people love it, I never felt I needed to watch Amelie more than once. I've always preferred A Very Long Engagement.
