I made a post a while back about David Lynch and well to put it nicely I pretty much blasted him. Then someone, actually a few poeple told me took check out Elephant Man so i did. Well you were right that movies was great and I was left with the feeling "why the hell haven't I seen that before now?". I was suprised to see that Mel Brooks had co-produced the film and chose to leave his name off so the film would be taken seriously.
Anyways, I couldn't find the original post so I thought I would say thanks to whomever did recommend the film to me.

You've never heard of Lynch's film about THE ELEPHANT MAN??? Don't delay - rent or buy the dvd - it's a MASTERPIECE. Keep some tissues handy, though...
Yeah Its great and the scene with Hopkins when he first sees the elephant man is awesome.

Really? I'm glad to see that I'm not alone. David Lynch really suprised me with this film. It almost makes me want to watch Mulholland Dr. again. If that is possible.
