    Heh, I loved most of the movies mentioned in the comments and I love old movies. I was expecting a lot more obscure cinema, not Godfather.
    More controversially, I did find Lynch to be a boring film maker. I thought his more mainstream titles like The Straight Story (which I loved) or Elephant Man were the better of his work.
    Also thought Yasujiro Ozu was pretty boring. I get his point, and I get how he plays with movement with smoke and wind and every scene is well thought out, but I couldn’t get behind the stories he was trying to tell.

      Blue Velvet was good, lots of fun weird shit but also a plot that moved along. It made me rent Eraserhead which in turn almost made me give up movies entirely.
