David Lynch's Mulholland Drive came out 18 years ago today
- Thread starter Dan-o
- Start date
Watched in the cinema with one of my exes back in the day. We where in awe. What a magical night, what a fantastic film. Love it.
Watched it for the first time a couple years ago
Made a ton more sense to me after I watched Renegade Cut's analysis of it:

incredible film, rewatched it just a couple weeks ago actually. Club Silencio is maybe my favorite scene in any movie.
This is the film that converted me into a film studies major. It was the first film that was presented in my elective film plus philosophy class and was such a trip.
Are there haters for this film? Seems universally admired whenever it's brought up these days.
One of the Lynch films I haven't seen. Fixing that later tonight/early tomorrow
Thank you for linking this, gonna give it a watch after the film

The cool thing about this movie is that there are several scenes you could be referring to.
Though I assume you mean the dumpster.
As a person who worked at Blockbuster when this dropped on DVD I can say empathically yes.
He has a name. And it's 'Diner Hobo'
'This DVD is broken, or malfunctioning, I can't skip chapters! Can I get a refund??'
This movie is incredibly good. The audition scene just sucks you in.
You really need to see the movie and tone leading up to it for it to land as effectively as it should. The contrast hits hard.

Mulholland Drive is still my favorite Lynch work. I love movies that portray LA/Hollywood as a sinister place but in a vaguely supernatural and fantastical way, which is more fun than thinking about the otherwise grimy hole of real depravity that is the actual city itself.
a truly incredible piece of work that has stood the test of time, only to see its reputation grow and grow...

One of the best films ever made. Easily.
Here's hoping 2020 brings good news for Twin Peaks fans as well.

I considered it, but chose to stick to his recent works.
Blue Velvet is certainly up there, but it's too grounded in the 80s IMO, and I still think Mulholland Drive is better.
I thought it was fantastic and pretty atypical. It's just overlong and a bit muddled.
It's like a stage play in a foreign language you don't understand. All you can do is try to guess at what's happening based on how the actors are playing.
It's just a failed pilot with a needlessly obtuse addendum that offers nothing post-Club Silencio
Some absolutely amazing scenes though
