What Lynch film should I star with?

With the first one like you would with any other director

Elephant man isn't scary but I suppose it's kind of "gross".

Mulholland Drive is a good start but it does have a scary scene in it

Terrible advice.

>I want to watch some James Cameron movies... what should I start with T2 or Aliens?

Why, Xenogenesis of course!

Except John Ford, Kurosawa, Bergman, Fellini, Chaplin, Cecil B Demille, Peckipah and all the directors who have more than 20 films

A director's first film is usually shit. Only after watching all of their good films should you bother and then all you would gain is "Oh I see what he was trying to do in the first film, he later accomplished it in this film and that film"

start with Blue Velvet. Then watch Mulholland Drive. The spooks are worth tolerating because these movies both have happy endings.

Or, after Blue Velvet, consider following Kyle Maclachlan's career by starting Twin Peaks.

Fuck you, following a list of films from the critics consensus can be a bad idea

You won't be seeing the first film itself but as the premise of his filmography, you will not enjoy it because you will systematically watch it as a draft of his ulterior films leaving out all the intrinsec qualities of his first

That would be a good point if a director's filmography was in fact part of some overarching planned idea which it is not.

And yes a lot of early works by directors are essentially rough drafts. DeMille's commandments remake is what he wanted the first one to be.

Your last bit about the qualities of the first is essentially what I said but you're saying it from another viewpoint

pretty much every lynch film is scary or gross so you might just want to stay away.
