Blue skies, red tulips, and a white fence: Blue Velvet opens with an idyllic American landscape, but then the protagonist, Jeffrey (Kyle MacLachlan), steps into the mysterious dark side when he discovers a severed human ear in a field.

Dennis Hopper, wearing a breathing mask, cries out "Mama, Mama," Isabella Rossellini repeatedly chants "Hit me!", and Laura Dern says with a dreamy expression, "Only love can change this dark world." A backstage Disneyland-like nightmare is depicted to the sweet melody of "Blue Velvet" sung by Bobby Vinton. This was the first work that David Lynch's close friend and composer Angelo Badalamenti worked on, and it was undoubtedly a masterpiece that marked a turning point for him.

5. Wild at Heart(1990) 124 min.

This film, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, is based on the novel of the same name by Barry Gifford. It is a movie about the love and Inferno escape of a couple, Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern), who cross California to escape from their pursuers.

There have been many "escape movies" made, such as "Bonnie and Clyde and Clyde" (1967), "The Getaway" (1972), "True Romance" (1993), and "Natural Born Killers" (1994), but "Wild at Heart" stands out for its extreme violence. In particular, the hitman Bobby, played by Willem Dafoe, is riddled with eccentric violence. His brutality and the way he dies are both explosive performances that stick in your mind. And the last song, "Love Me Tender," leaves an indescribable aftertaste. This is Lynch's style.

The TV drama "Twin Peaks" (1990-91, 17) caused a social phenomenon. Although a third season was originally planned, ABC, the broadcasting station, decided to cancel the series after the second season due to concerns about declining viewer ratings and rising production costs. David Lynch was unable to let go of his attachment to the drama he created, so he produced a prequel movie version. Kyle MacLachlan, who played Agent Cooper, was reluctant to appear in the film, so his appearances were greatly reduced. Instead, Chris Isaak, Kiefer Sutherland, and David Bowie, all suitable actors for the role of the Dark Knight, were assembled.

In the final episode of the second season, Laura Palmer said, "See you in 25 years," and the third season was broadcast in 2017, exactly 25 years later. "Twin Peaks: Fireflies" served as a bridge to fill the Intolerance of a quarter century.

The O.J. Simpson case, in which an American football superstar was accused of murdering his ex-wife and friend. David Lynch, who was interested in the uproar that shook America, came to the shocking conclusion that "his alter-ego must have murdered her and erased her memory." The strange film titled "Lost Highway" was made based on this mysterious theory.

Fred (Bill Pullman) is put in solitary confinement for the murder of his wife, which he did not commit. However, the next morning Fred has vanished like smoke, and another man named Pete (Balthazar Getty) has been imprisoned. As always, the storyline is unclear and incomprehensible. The presence of the Mystery Man, a man with a painted face, makes this movie even stranger.
