He seemed like a great guy, but his work sometimes did cross the line into "too creepy for me"

I will never forget when I saw "Eraserhead" in the late 1970s at a midnight showing. Even though I had seen many "weird" art films and such, nothing prepared me for "Eraserhead". I had nightmares about it for quite a while.

Reading that it was Stanley Kubrick's favorite film at the time blew my mind.

I got hooked on Twin Peaks when it aired again time in the mid '00s. Dale Cooper is my spirit animal.

IMHO. His Dune is still the most epic. (and Kyle McLachlan is the better Paul Atreides.)

Mulholland Drive is a masterpiece and perfectly understandable. (I'm not going to tell you how)

Wonderfully cooky person, in all the best ways. In recent years he had a YouTube channel on which he drew lottery numbers from a jar and reported on the current weather around his home.
And he did this (edited), and I admire him for it.

He loved American culture, and it showed in all his works. Let us all remember the lovable aspects of America in the years to come.

I would say that Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive are safe bets.
As TV goes, Twin Peaks is slow and frustrating but also compelling.
