Looking for a way to get into Lynch's work. I know, a little late, but I feel like I'm missing out on something with all the condolences going out today. I've heard good things about Twin Peaks? Does it still hold up?

What about his movies? I've heard great things about Mulholland Drive, although I was very confused when I got halfway through.

Are there other works that are better to start with or just that people generally recommend as being good?

Blue Velvet; it has a relatively normal narrative structure and brings in Lynchian themes (depraved evil beneath the surface of small-town America, a blurred sense of time that’s equal parts 1950s as when it was made, and aesthetics that would prefigure Twin Peaks). When you’re ready for something more bizarre, Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive.
