David Bowie, Prince...
There's an age when all the people you started admiring when young or even kid, start passing away. More often each year. It's natural, but it's also sad that some of these gifted people left us behind, without more of their work to enjoy.

Chris Cornell was a big one for me. Honestly not surprised but it still sucks. He had a memorable singing voice and I liked his music. I really like this cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZ32Pf-5PE

You are in for a wild ride (if you don't quit after the first one ;)). I wish I could watch his films for the first time again. Wonder what other people here think his most accessible film would be.
If we are talking pure accessability I'd go for Twin Peaks, but that's a TV series. Bigger time investment, although only 30 episodes long. For films my choice would be The Elephant Man or Blue Velvet. The Straight Story was always close to my heart, but I feel it is not that 'lynchian'. It is heart warming and 'easy' to watch though.
I consider Mulholland Dr. to be his best work, but maybe not the best place to start.
Maybe others can chime in here and leave some recommendations.

That's a shame. He was really a weird and great director.
I watched many of his movies, and understood way too few.

My best friend just beeped me about David Lynch passing away. I didn't notice until now, he actually died on wednesday 15. (My fault for never reading news and living in a bubble.)
Lynch was among our favourite directors, with Kubrick and Nolan to name a couple. We've watched almost all of his movies (I'm missing one, my friend watched all I think), and also the shorts film he made and it went all over our heads. Cryptic, surreal, dark, personal, creepy... Often digging into the dirt of human darkness. Watch the beginning of Blue Velvet. That's Lynch showing how we are.
My fav movie of him is Mullholland Drive. Easier to understand and follow if you've watched more Lynch films, and know one thing about the movie. I remember we were obsessed with the movie for about a month and watched it several times.
And compulsory giveaways... What most of his movies were. Creepy Tales. Very fitting, Mr. Lynch. We'll keep watching your movies, David.
Level 3+, they need creepiness cleaning. They will last only until 20th, when he would have turned 79.
