In Reply to: Stanley may have been joking? I pretty much like all of Lynch's stuff but for E-head. nt posted by tinear on June 21, 2014 at 08:26:45:
From the wiki page for eraserhead:
"While working on The Elephant Man, Lynch met American director Stanley Kubrick, who revealed to Lynch that Eraserhead was his favorite film.[74] Eraserhead also served as an influence on Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining; Kubrick reportedly screened the film for the cast and crew to "put them in the mood" that he wanted the film to achieve.[75] Eraserhead is also credited with influencing the 1990 Japanese cyberpunk film Tetsuo: The Iron Man, the experimental 1990 horror film Begotten, and Darren Aronofsky's 1998 directorial debut Pi.[76][77][78] Swiss surrealist H. R. Giger cited Eraserhead as "one of the greatest films [he had] ever seen",[79] and said that it came closer to realizing his vision than even his own films.[80] According to Giger, Lynch declined to collaborate with him on Dune because he felt Giger had "stolen his ideas"."
