Customer Reviews: Arguably three of the greatest films made January 17, 2009 B. S. Wilder (London) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful I was shocked to see that previously this product had received only 1 star, which in all honesty is a tragedy. Hence I'm writing this review. br / br /Included in the box there are three of Lynch's greatest films. Admittedly stylistically they differ: however the obvious link between them is David Lynch himself. I won't try and summarise Mulholland Drive or Inland Empire as to do so is to try and understand the mind of the director, which certainly lives up to his reputation: you will come away confused and disturbed. But that's the sheer brilliance of Lynch, even if you don't like his films you will at the least know that you have seen some of the most beautifully shot cult films of all time. The Elephant Man however is a genuinely moving story, and I challenge you not to be overwhelmed. br / br /I will mention one other thing. The previous reviewer suggested the inclusion of Lost Highway as it fits better with Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire. I would thoroughly recommend the film if you can find it, but regrettably it appears to have become a collector's item (in the format that it should be viewed in). br / br /So to summarise: if you've been recommended Lynch, this is a fantastic deal. It's a brilliant introduction into his mind, and particularly if you aren't looking for extras, then this would certainly become a treasured purchase. Excellent collection of David Lynch films.

Stupid collection of 3 Lynch Films October 8, 2008 Mike Stokes (Manchester, UK) 11 out of 55 found this review helpful Let me start by saying I love all 3 of these films but whoever decided to put them together in a boxset must be pretty dumb. ELEPHANT MAN is a straight forward narrative whereas MULHOLLAND DRIVE and INLAND EMPIRE are surrealist works which are dreamlike in places and defy straight logic. LOST HIGHWAY shares similar themes to M.D. and I.E. and had it been included instead of ELEPHANT MAN I would have given this collection 5 stars.
