You must not have seen or have forgotten about "The Straight Story", a Disney film directed by Lynch. It is a wonderful chronicle of an old man, Alvin Straight, who is estranged from his brother who lives several hundred miles away. Straight sets our to see him and reconcile, riding a power lawnmower the whole way. Sissy Spaceck
plays his "slow" daughter. This is a PG rated film suitable for the whole family and is Richard Farnsworth's last film role.
In typically quirky Lynch fashion, he forbade chapter stops on the DVD release.

The Straight Story is a masterpiece of "normal" cinema . . . perhaps his only "straight" movie. -n - albee33 17:29:04 02/19/04 (0)

I agree, "The Straight Story" was a beautiful movie and made me go out and buy the soundtrack, which is totaly awesome.

  Harry Dean Stantons last film too I believe (wasn't he a great actor!)
  and Sissy Spacek proving once again that she can handle any role and shine
  I really hope David Lynch has a few more films like this up his sleeve!
