RIP Definitely a unique character who left behind many memorable films and shows. Too bad all of those years of smoking finally got to him.

I love his work. Blue Velvet is one of my favorites

One of the handful of truly great artists among American filmmakers... and one of my all-time personal favorite filmmakers. I had heard he was recently in poor health but didn't realize it was so dire. RIP to a true visionary.

I remember the moment he truly had me in Twin Peaks: When Coop sets up the bottles to throw rocks at to make decisions, and Sheriff Harry S. Truman goes along with it. Just rolling with the weird. I dug that.

David Lynch turned down an offer to direct Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Can you imagine how that movie would have turned out if Lynch directed it?
