I don’t even pay attention to who is directing a movie. I usually do a little reading on a movie before I watch it, but I just read the directors name and don’t retain it. Couldn’t tell you if I’ve seen a David Lynch film or not.
You’d remember a Lynch film if you ever saw one. He has a style as unique as Kubrick, who admired Eraserhead enough that he screened it for the cast and crew of The Shining.
