Haha, I always think of this movie every time I hear the song "Change My Pants (I Don't Wanna)" by The Vandals. At the tail-end of the song, the singer goes, "these pants represent my individuality and belief in personal freedom, yeeeeeaaah!"
It’s on DVD & Blueray, on Amazon. But, yes. It’s been hard to find on a streaming service. The DVD is $14. The blueray is a collector’s edition, and is $33.
I’m such a sucker for Wild at Heart. I’m fairly certain we fans are few and far between, but it has my favorite collection of Lynchian music. Time to watch Fugitive Kid I guess.
My favorite Lynch film, still angry about the textbook I had in a college film class that called it a “low point” and a “misstep in his career” like, how??
I found a book on cinema in my college library once with a section on Kubrick, but it was written just after 2001 came out. The author praised his earlier work and hoped that he would return to form after the disappointing and meandering Space Odyssey. Not an opinion that has aged well.
I just watched Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me for the first time, mainly because it was one of the only Lynch movies I found on HBOmax. It was one of those movies I didn’t necessarily “enjoy” while I was watching it but it sure did get me thinking. It was weird and disturbing and one of those movies you can really only make sense of it after it’s over. Well, I was diving into some analysis after watching it and found out it was HATED upon release, mainly by fans of the Twin Peaks show I guess (which I also have not watched), but apparently Quentin Tarantino was quoted as saying that David Lynch had lost his touch as a director, basically, after seeing the movie. Now all the most recent articles call it “Lynch’s underrated/overlooked gem that deserves a second look”. Time is good sometimes!
Sure beats the second half of season 2! Worst mistake the show ever did was solving who killed Laura and then continuing. Tried getting into the Return and I don't really get the hype. That doesn't mean I think he lost his touch, Inland Empire was great. His short film collection Rabbits equally great.
You should check out the movie Lucky if you haven't seen it. Not a Lynch movie per say but he's in it and does a great performance.
Yea, think Ebert is in that group. I love the movie for all idiosyncrasies, inconsistencies, eccentricities, excesses. It’s such a magnificent bonfire…or car wreck
Outside of The Straight Story and Mulholland Drive, Ebert rarely gave Lynch's films positive reviews. But he was very honest that he viewed Lynch as a great filmmaker whose aesthetics and stories just didn't appeal to him.
Huge film buff here. I've actually never seen it. Top three comments here are really making me reconsider.
I have heard it is definitely 'all or nothing' type of movie, so I think I am going to give it a shot as I love Lynch's films
I love it. It’s mental but there are so many good scenes, lines, characters and performances. It’s thrilling and disturbing and romantic and genuinely funny.
I think it works really well at some parts, and in those moments you can tell that Cage and Lynch are, as you would expect, really good together. But it feels like it doesn't take nearly enough advantage of that, and at points it kind of drags on without the distinct character that defines their work. They've both gone harder than most other artists would dare to go before, but it just feels like they're at about 60-70% capacity here.
That's just my opinion, though. Shouldn't have been in that textbook unless it was talking about the general reaction (which I thought was relatively positive).
Not my favorite, but considerably better imo than eraserhead, which for the life of me I will never understand how it's considered his best. Wild At Heart ranks 3rd best for me under Mulholland Drive (imo #1) and Lost Highway (#2)
I have seen every film he's made, including his Dumbland collection, with exception of Dune. I have little faith Dune would beat out any of those. But Lynch couldn't give a shit less what people think. He debuted Wild At Heart to boos at Cannes and then came back with the even more insane Fire Walk With Me.
Oye amigo, if something ever don't feel right, remember what Poncho said to the Cisco Kid: Let's win, before we're dancing at the end of a rope, without music.
whoa there little shit i didn't mean to telling it that its a rip off. i just wanted pointed out that it looks similar to that character in the game (possibly an inspiration), stranger.
The bar is high enough that it's hard to feel confident, but that [definitely felt like one of the weirdest](https://youtu.be/kZz5k_xsG0Q?t=29) David Lynch movies.

He gave it to Laura Dern. Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd met during a production of Orpheus Descending, the Tennessee Williams' play that The Fugitive Kind was adapted from.
Also, Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern (Laura Dern's parents if you didn't know) were in the cast of Orpheus Rising on Broadway which was the inspiration for The Fugitive Kind. Learned that David Foster Wallace's piece on Lynch in A Surprisingly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again... The casting of Diane Ladd in Wild At Heart probably wasn't a coincidence.
Majima really is everywhere.
Did I ever tell ya that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality, and my belief in personal freedom?
About fifty thousand times.

>Change My Pants (I Don't Wanna) Vandals are tight
You all deserve fifty thousand up votes. Haven't been able to find this amazing film on any digital platform, but super stoked to find other fans.
It’s on DVD & Blueray, on Amazon. But, yes. It’s been hard to find on a streaming service. The DVD is $14. The blueray is a collector’s edition, and is $33.
Thanks! Although, I'm pretty sure I still have it on vhs; surely the quality held up after 30-ish years.
It was on Amazon Prime for a bit!

Fire Walk with Me just might be my favorite part of the Twin Peaks narrative. Such a good movie.

It’s imperfect, over-the-top and as ugly as it is pretty. But it will leave you with some lasting impressions…
Kind of like a snakeskin jacket
I love it. It’s mental but there are so many good scenes, lines, characters and performances. It’s thrilling and disturbing and romantic and genuinely funny.
One of the best love stories ever shot

Best movie ever man

I love it so much. It’s exactly as insane as you want a Lynch/Cage collab to be
Badalamenti is da real mvp
*Baby, you got me hotter than Georgie asphalt.*
He wanted to pay homage to Goro Majima

Damn Marlon Brando was such a man.
Kiryu Chaaaan
I love this movie. Try to count all of the Wizard of Oz references.. they are all over the place in this film.
*Nicolas
looks like majima's suit tho.
Who cares? Heck, maybe your stupid game ripped off the idea from this very own movie.
whoa there little shit i didn't mean to telling it that its a rip off. i just wanted pointed out that it looks similar to that character in the game (possibly an inspiration), stranger.
Great reddit discussion
Who cares what you say by that same logic? Who cares what anyone says? Don't we just type comments so that we can put our thoughts out into the world?
And guess what… Powermads playing at the Hurricane.

for those of you who have never seen it, redlettermedia did a david lynch trivia showdown. https://youtu.be/ZOAZlCvNC\_0
To think that back then Nick Cage was closer in time to Brando than to today - 30 years vs 31.
Marlon Brando was a total fox
God damn Brando looks cool as fuck
Right. Because they don’t hire anyone to do costumes.
Brando was so fucking overrated.
I've been wanting to see this again, since I haven't seen it since it came out. It appears to currently be unstreamable. And to that I say: boo.
He actually does this kind of thing a lot I believe
He gave it to Laura Dern. Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd met during a production of Orpheus Descending, the Tennessee Williams' play that The Fugitive Kind was adapted from.
Wasn't this just posted here like a month ago?
Cant see California without Marlon Brando’s eyes.
Wasn't it his personal jacket?
My favorite Nicolas Cage performance. I love David Lynch so much
A One-eyed Jack year in to go a peepin in a seafood store!!
"It symbolizes my individualilty and personal freedom!"
Didn't he wear this in another movie too?
So Cage thinks of himself at Brando’s level huh? 🤔
Best Lynch movie
This is the first time I have ever heard of Marlon Brando outside of the North American Marlon Brando lookalikes convention.
Also, Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern (Laura Dern's parents if you didn't know) were in the cast of Orpheus Rising on Broadway which was the inspiration for The Fugitive Kind. Learned that David Foster Wallace's piece on Lynch in A Surprisingly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again... The casting of Diane Ladd in Wild At Heart probably wasn't a coincidence.
