...Blue Velvet or Mulholland Drive.

The Straight Story is very very good, and it's certainly the easiest and most accessible Lynch film for general audiences to get into. It's beautifully acted, outstandingly shot and sensitively directed. But it doesn't take the chances the other two films do. BV and MD go places no other director could go. That's one reason why I treasure them.

The Elephant Man is a rung below those two, but stil remarkable.
