A few of my friends recommended Eraserhead. It felt like David Lynch was seeing what he could get away with.

    Eraserhead isn’t a movie to be enjoyed, it’s a movie to be regretted, for the rest of your life….
    fun fact: that’s a real horse embryo

    Another fun fact: it was based on Lynch's feelings of becoming a father to a baby with deformed feet. His daughter's feet are ok now, they have a good relationship and she became a film director too!

    I absolutely love David Lynch, but Eraserhead is not the first, second nor third Lynch movie I would put on at any given time. I love the radiator girl segment in the film. The rest is forgettable.

    I'm more of a Mulholland Drive fangirl. It is one of the best movies ever made in my humble opinion.

    Someone also mentioned Elephant Man which is likewise a stellar movie.

    That's just David Lynch, no?

    You'd think so, but then he makes The Elephant Man and The Straight Story. Both pretty grounded and simple to follow scripts with not too much Lynchness to them. I honestly don't know what to make of Lynch.. he was a man of contrast.

    I saw someone suggest The Elephant Man as the best way to introduce someone to Lynch, and after watching it, I totally get it. Amazing film.

    Unfortunately, it's next to impossible to find these days and I was only able to watch it after finding a torrent.
