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.
These are my two favorite films of his. I'm not much of a Lynch fan though, so I think it tells.
