For the folks new to Lynch movies don't forget to watch his possibly the strangest of movies: Eraserhead. I have watched it more than 5 times and everytime I watch it I learn something new.

And btw this scene from his movie is just gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozhOo0Dt4o

I am propably wrong on this, and counter examples are very welcome. But to me it seems like he’s the only person in Hollywood who makes films that show dreams how they actually subjectively feel to us when we are dreaming. Not just the “picture perfect narrative but with a pink tint” but all the strangeness that dreams involve, like something mundane being incredibly scratch without a clear reason why. characters simultaneously being different people, or someone in a dream clearly being someone yet looking different. And of cause all the strangeness of realizing you are in a dream yet still dreaming. The mix of absurd control and at times complete lack of control.

The short "What did Jack do?" is also strange, even by his standards.
