Nabby, I've only seen Elephant Man and The Straight Story. Elephant Man is one of the most touching movies I've ever seen. The Straight Story is a wonderful combination of being sweet and quirky and down to earth. Nonetheless I'm not really drawn to his other works though I admire his creative vision and what shall we call it, boldness.

One must be a really sick and twisted soul to read this into the films of David Lynch. As others have suggested, you seriously need professional help. Long before I knew he did TM it was obvious to me that his films are about the human struggle for dignity in a mundane, violent and often depressing world. Often set in extreme situations his films capture in a very moving way the stuggle of individuals towards light, love and goodness. "There is an invisible force that pulls men towards God" - Maharishi Along with a few other masters of cinema Lynch visualize this process in a beautiful and touching way.
