Not my usual type of film, stumbled across it on film 4, very enjoyable.

I've waited sometime to see this movie in its entirety and it wasn't worth the wait. I guess the short part i did watch long long ago gave me false hope this was a good movie but that isn't the case.

I must of had different taste 3 years ago, I tried it again a couple weeks ago and thought it was boring.

People’s attention spans are rotting, you’re not alone.

Rest assured The Straight Story is a great film by probably the greatest film director ever.

I'll try again in 3 years

You’ll enjoy it when you do. How much Lynch have you seen?

[–] Sparky123 (1679) 10 months ago

Not much at all, any recommendations?

F’sure.

Start with Mulholland Drive.

If you like that then try Lost Highway and Blue Velvet.

Twin Peaks is the greatest TV show ever, so if you’re feeling the Lynch vibe and you have the time it’s absolutely worth embarking on.

It is definitely one of my all-time favorite films. I'll never tire of this one.
