The Return is clearly meant to be Twin Peaks season 3 which makes it reasonable to group with Twin Peaks (1990-91) entry. Fire Walk with Me is more debatable imo, we can list it as a separate entry as a standalone film. Don't think it is particularly similar to the Lord of the Rings trilogy case.

I object neither to having TP as Lynch's #1, nor to including The Return as part of it. What about Fire Walk with Me then? Should that also just be included under the "Twin Peaks" banner or should that become #10?


I agree with putting Twin Peaks at #1 -- it's undoubtedly the most well-known ...

Think Ted's popularity win is greater than American Dad's acclaim win although it's a bit of apples and oranges comparison.

I think Fido is technically correct about The Return being apart of Twin Peaks series so why not add Dune at #10?

Wanna draft a revision yourself Man?

As I said, I don't see a problem with listing "Get Smart" on Brooks' list since the series is associated with him even though he eventually stopped directing any of it. Maybe renaming the list something like "Movie directors' top works" or even "Movie auteurs' top works" would currently be more apt ...

Nice work so far Man.

That's pretty minor as compared with She's Gotta Have It's influence which is cited as a milestone within both African American and independent cinema.

Not influence, I'd think.

Lalo Schifrin RIP.

Well, I figure influence plus acclaim are ⅔ of criteria. Although with Chet, fair to say his influence and acclaim as a guitarist eclipses his artistic influence & acclaim.

Brian Wilson RIP.

Criteria: Ranked by acclaim and reputation as producers, influence on rock and roll record production and rock and roll in general, and popularity of recordings produced.
