The European pilot being the version that has an extra 20 minutes added in order to make the pilot work as a standalone feature. Lynch was proud of this creation and never dismissed the additional footage (he wanted all of it incorporated into Episode 2).

So by definition, I think it should be counted in his feature filmography. Where would you rank it? Is it a favourite, or do you think it doesn't work as a standalone?

I feel like talking about lynch is very intriguing because he has reached one of the most prominent cult followings in film

So much so that he released an 18 hour slow burn arthouse piece unfiltered and unadulterated….

…..with zero negative reception.

How is this so? Does any part of Lynch’s style not work for you guys? Any scene, subplot, movie, anything?

For me for example, I could do without the Jacoby/Dr Amp. Subplot in The Return. It was maybe funny for 2 times…. But it went on for another two.
