I thought the movie was decent when I watched it, but my appreciation for it has been increasing gradually since I watched it; absolutely a movie I can see myself rewatching, probably even a couple of times. The lady in the radiator singing is one of a handful of scenes that sticks out as particularly memorable/haunting. I also wish I watched it earlier on when I was exploring Lynch's filmography; there's so many "Lynchian" tropes established here that are prevalent in his later works - I was still able to note its influence on scenes from multiple later Lynch projects right away, but I feel like if I'd seen it prior to said scenes it would've made them even more enjoyable. @KronoCloud posted... Have you watched any Twin Peaks besides Fire Walk With Me? Definitely watch that if you havent. Excluding things like interviews/documentaries/novels/etc., I've seen everything related to the Twin Peaks canon; I watched the original show for the first time in summer 2014, I watched Fire Walk with Me, rewatched the original run, then watched The Return all during fall of last year, and I just watched The Missing Pieces a couple days before I watched The Straight Story. Idk if I'd agree with S3 being the most "Lynchian" thing he's made to date (I think Eraserhead was more so - even including Part 8 - and Inland Empire even seems like it could take that title from Eraserhead), but you're right about it being an amazing season of television. --- ...
