    To the original topic, art films like Eraserhead do require patience as they are usually slow going so if you aren't in the mood for that kind of a movie it will probably ruin the experience of the movie. Eraserhead is Lynch's most surreal movie, the rest of them are more avant-garde (that's how I think his style of movies are best explained anyways).
    Yeah, to this day he says Eraserhead is his most "spiritual" movie, that it has the most meaning to him of all the others. I can't help but wonder if Eraserhead is one of those movies where it's symbols only have definitive meaning for their maker, you know? It's not a kind of commentary that everyone will pick up on (aside from the occasional symbols regarding characters).

    I watched Eraserhead last night for the first time. It is one of the only Lynch films I had not seen. I felt a little odd after watching it. I gues the parent in me made me feel bad for the baby creature. A few years ago I took film appreciation in college and I wondered why we never watched this. I think it is a remarkable film. It is beautiful and thought provoking, yet very disturbing. When I get a chance I want to get this on DVD. I read someone here saying their interpretation was the struggles of parenthood. I saw it more as an obsession with sex and the consequences that it can create. I will give it another watch soon.

    It was decent, but relies more shock than anything imo

    I have to disagree. I don't think it was made with the intentions of being a shock film. I would consider it more of an art house film. I mean yeah I was disturbed by the baby but I wouldn't really think that was Lynch's intentions. I regard him as a remarkable filmmaker. For me there are only 3 that I would consider as remarkable, the other 2 being Stanley Kubrick and Darren Aronofsky. I believe there is a lot of hidden meaning in this film that no one other than Lynch himself will ever know about. He is way too highly regarded as a filmmaker in my opinion to make a film simply for shock value, even if this was his debut.
