| | | Wildly surreal Lynch debut that's become perhaps the most famous cult film of them all, and certainly among the more widely imitated films ever. Taking his inspiration from German expressionist silent films, Lynch creates a richly textured B&W nightmare world where shadows and reflections lend serene beauty to unimaginable squalor. When Henry Spencer is invited to dinner at his friend's house, Mary, he finds out that he has been the father of a premature mutated fetus that doctors are not sure is even human any longer. Mary and the strange baby move to Henry's house, where a mysterious woman exists behind the radiator. Henry's fantasies lead to him to believe he will be be-headed, and his brain used to make erasers. The baby will not stop crying, and drives away its mother. "From auteur David Lynch comes this nightmarish classic in which a young man living in an industrial wasteland comes to grips with parenthood. Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) inhabits a surreal world rife with grotesque characters and bizarre creatures, not the least of which is his own child, a hideously deformed, squalling aberration. A study in the macabre, this early film features the arresting imagery and dark humor characteristic of Lynch's work." "First and only time available to retail market!" Starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates, Judith Anna Roberts, Laurel Near, V. Phipps-Wilson, Jack Fisk. DVD FEATURES: Anamorphic (16:9) Widescreen Version . English audio .

An innocent young man discovers that a dark underworld exists beneath the surface of his seemingly quiet hometown involving a kinky nightclub singer, a sadistic kidnapper/drug dealer, and other freaks.

| | | David Lynch had a world of fun with this prequel to the earlier TV series "Twin Peaks," chronicling the final days of Laura Palmer. Surreal and sleazy. Opens with the investigation by FBI Agent Chet Desmond into the murder of waitress Teresa Banks, then cuts to one year later and follows the events during the pivotal week in the life of Laura Palmer. Lots of sex, drugs, violence, very loud music and weird imagery. This confused and outraged Lynch fans and haters alike when released, but seems almost straightforward today. WILD AT HEART is Lynch's most similar film. Fun cast, including Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Mädchen Amick, David Bowie, Miguel Ferrer, Heather Graham, Chris Isaak, Moira Kelly, Peggy Lipton, Jürgen Prochnow, Harry Dean Stanton, Kiefer Sutherland, Kyle MacLachlan. 134 minutes Widescreen anamorphic - 1.85:1 Audio: English (DTS Surround Sound), English (Dolby Digital 5.1), French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround) . Available subtitles: English, French Original documentary "Reflections on the Phenomenon of Twin Peaks" featuring the cast and crew |

| | | One of director David Lynch's best and most mesmerizing films. The narrative structure is so challenging that you could loop the film and start watching at any point. A woman, known only as Rita, comes to her senses with no memory in a crashed car on Mulholland Drive, in Hollywood. Two (apparently evil) men lie dead in the wreckage. She stumbles to a nearby apartment complex. Meanwhile, at a restaurant, two men named Herb and Dan converse. Dan reveals he had a nightmarish dream about the particular restaurant they're in. When the dream begins to come true, the two high-tail it out of there. They go to an alley where Dan dies for no apparent reason. Later, an aspiring actress named Betty (Naomi Watts) arrives in Los Angeles and takes a cab to the apartment complex her Aunt Ruth lives in. There, she finds Rita in the shower. Rita eventually tells Betty about her amnesia and the two try to figure out who she is while commencing a torrid affair. More weird elements to the interlocking plot arise. Naomi Watts deserved the best actress Oscar in 2001. She is astounding as the white-bread middle-American insanely perky Nancy Drew-esque heroine. DVD FEATURES: Widescreen anamorphic - 1.85:1 . Audio: English (DTS), English (Dolby Digital 5.1) . subtitles: Spanish, French |
