Tracked filmography

What is covered, pending, or still only being watched

Eraserhead
1977
tracking only

The midnight-movie origin point, industrial nightmare and domestic anxiety fused into one handmade hallucination.

The Elephant Man
1980
tracking only

A surprisingly classical studio work, but still deeply Lynchian in its attention to cruelty, tenderness, and spectacle.

Dune
1984
tracking only

A compromised epic that remains revealing because even broken franchise scale cannot fully suppress Lynch’s texture and strangeness.

Blue Velvet
1986
live page

The core Cinema One title: suburbia, voyeurism, sexual menace, and noir curiosity turned into an American nightmare.

Open movie page
Wild at Heart
1990
tracking only

Romance, violence, Elvis myth, and road-movie excess pushed into feverish pop melodrama.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
1992
tracking only

A devastating reversal of the TV mystery, centered less on puzzle-solving than trauma, dread, and Laura Palmer’s subjectivity.

Lost Highway
1997
tracking only

Identity collapse as noir loop, with guilt, desire, and image distortion refusing stable explanation.

The Straight Story
1999
tracking only

His gentlest feature, proof that Lynch’s attention to mystery can also produce patience, kindness, and open-road grace.

Mulholland Drive
2001
tracking only

A Hollywood dream turning into a grief machine, one of the clearest late masterpieces about identity and fantasy.

Inland Empire
2006
tracking only

A digital labyrinth where performance, fear, and fractured selfhood dissolve almost completely into nightmare logic.
