This movie rocked my world, but also confused me. For instance, in the audition scene with the blond chick and the old guy, the age difference was about the same as in porn, but there was no cumshot, no anal, no yelling, they weren't even butt nekkid, yet that scene got me soooo hot! Woah....

and then the lesbian scene - again there was no hollering, no rug munching or dildo ramming..except by me, the home viewer. What's going on, how did they accomplish this?

David LYNCH is one of my 10 favorite directors ( with Clint EASTWOOD , Tim BURTON , Peter JACKSON , Gregg ARAKI , Harmony KORINE , ..... ) .
MULHOLLAND DRIVE is so great !!! The scenes have no time continuation , people can watch them randomly .
All people must watch it !!!

Loved this David Lynch masterpiece!

The audition scene with the blond chick (Naomi Watts) is unbelievable. The crazy thing is the movie actually makes some sense if your willing to spend the time to deconstruct it. A wonderfull comment on Hollywood, and a sexy stylish entertaning piece of cinema

I'm with you all on this.

Great movie... very sexy, and yes it does make sense if you're willing to spend some time with it. I love David Lynch's work, and yes, he has a talent for... well, for softcore. :) Lost Highway (while perhaps harder to make sense of) also has some AMAZINGLY erotic and sexy moments in it. And those aren't the only ones. :)

Since we are talking about hot mainstream erotica I should mention "Femme Fetale". Sexy!

What made that audition scene so hot? Fully clothed, and I don't even think they kissed, did they? That's what's missing in porn for me, that... global erotic buildup. Naomi Watts is one hell of an actress.

Yes, Lost Highway and Patricia Arquette... ohmygod....

What other movies of David Lynch's have these very erotic moments?

Thanks, GM I'll look for that!

OK. What other movies.

Twin Peaks Fire Walk with me as an astounding moment when Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) is... well... having sex with Leland/Bob (Ray Wise/Frank Silva). This is... heady stuff to be sure, and there's certainly elements of incest and sexual abuse involved, but the way it's shot and acted (and set up in an unconventional narrative context) is so... sexual in a sense that is far removed from anything porn seems capable of. Like you say, SB, it has to do with "erotic buildup" and, for me, a narrative backdrop. I'd say this is why I gravitate more (although not exclusively) to vignette and feature porn than I do straight all sex ala Anabolic and RLD.

Hell even Twin Peaks the television series has it's amazing moments. And sometimes it was as simple as two people in the woods at night talking about anything BUT sex (aka Donna (Laura Flynn Boyle) and James (James Marshell)).

As for Lost Highway--well let's just say that I've definitely had my sexual sessions with it as a primary backdrop in the past. But thankfully, it can be much more than just that as well.

I can't think of any others that leap to mind, but Lynch has an amazing ability to capture eroticism in unconventional ways to say the least. I love him for that and many other reasons.

I'd say Lynch's masterpiece would be Twin peaks, the long series format suits his style because he's able to take a lot of detours without losing sight of the story.
Of his films, I'd definitely give Wild at heart my vote as his best. It's sexy just like Mulholland drive and Lost highway, but kinda perverted sexy, just look at the scene where Lola (Laura Dern) and Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe) are alone! That's hot and dirty right there!
Lynch also dove into the sexuality of sadism in his earlier movie Blue velvet, although that one got a bit tedious.

I love Twin Peaks, but oddly (or perhaps not so oddly), I think Lynch's masterpiece is The Straight Story...its the only movie he's made that has contained his visual style, yet still told a story with a beginning, middle and end.

Yeah, that movie is exactly what the title says, a straight story. I was kind of disappointed with the movie when I saw it, it just wasn't what you'd ecpect from one of his movies. But then when you think about it it's pretty odd after all, I mean a story about a man driving across America on a lawnmower!
I think that if you rate it simply as a drama, it's highly above average. However, I wouldn't go see ot simply on the basis of it being a David Lynch movie. I'd probably take the Elephant man before this one for a good drama though.

I loved Mulholland Drive and think it's Lynch's best work, though I'm sure mileage will vary. I also loved Blue Velvet (what a performance Hopper gave) and the Straight Story.

Speaking of Lynch is Veronica Hart's recent film Lost Hienie a partial take on Lynch? I've only see the cover and the blurb from it, and judging from that I'd say there's some borrowing going on.

Welcome Zell1728!

I haven't heard about Lost Heinie, but it does sound like a take-off, which are usually somewhat lacking. She and Wit did a good job with Being With Juli Ashton, however, that was a scream. The sex wasn't bad either.

Hi, and thanks for the welcome. I haven't seen Being with Juli Ashton yet, but it's on my wish list. I'm looking forward, actually, to seeing all of Hart's movies.

Anybody seen David Foster Wallace's article on Lynch found in his book A fun thing I'll never do again? Well worth seeking out. Also worth tracking down is his mainly /negative/stranger in a strange land but still funny report published a few years ago on his visit to an adult convention, called Neither Adult nor entertainment? I've never been able to find the work on the web, so I can't send a link, and he hasn't collected it in a book form. You have to track down the copy of Magazine that it appeared in to find it. More on that later, I guess, if people are interested.

MLyons, I'd think you'd be interested in Wallace. Ever see his book Brief Interviews with Hideous Men? A bit too rough for me, but still engaging and experimental.

Speaking of literay people writing about porn, anybody seen the Martin Amis report on a film shoot he was at? I forget the name of that one, lost in my files somewhere. He visits a film that Chloe is staring in.
