as far as David Lynch goes, I often find them 'trying to be different' , but I think Straight Story is a fantastic movie. Certainly not a hollywood blockbuster, but not directed at a chin stroking Media studies crowd either.
one friend of mine said that he would bring Lost highway around to watch, but before it started he wanted to present a prepared hour long talk about its meaning and structure. give me break!

word, I hear ya. I guess for me, I got so intrigued and bewildered by Mullholland drive and Lost Highway and their non-linear storytelling structure that I did all sorts of net researched and was amazed at some of the things written about these movies by scholarly people referencing all sorts of physchology, philosophy, art, etc. Rarely, if ever, does a movie intrigue me enough to go searching for more meaning online.

Big Fish - anything tim burton really
Ezzie Iddard is hilarious!
Bill Baily - part troll is too
I also got extras - the new ricky gervais (the office) comedy - I actually think it's better than the office

oh yeah David Lynch is a weird guy - my old housemate years ago bought the complete twin peaks and we watched the whole lot - and it was actually MORE confusing watching it all together
Eraserhead would make the less emotionally stable go on a small animal killing rampage - that movie was intentionally horrible - like one whole feature length fingernails down a blackboard show

I had that with Lost highway as well.. gave up on it. Straight Story was *really* amazing to watch, and Mulholland Drive didn't work for my wife, but definitely for me - takes me back to the spooky weird later episodes of Twin Peaks (the good ones, imo)

yeah, Eraserhead totally freaked out my wife. I think that Lynch is a master of using sound as a means of suspense/terror--the score to eraserhead is totally unsettling but not in an in-your-face way. I think it is pretty cool that a film without any serious blood and guts, swearing, or "r-rated" content can be so unsettling and.
+1 on the donnie darko--that movie is really intruiging.

for fans of unnerving/disturbing i would recommend a german film called funny games. ive watched it twice and it doesnt get any funnier the second time round.
