Movie 1, Blue Velvet

Blue Velvet is a 1986 American neo-noir Mystery Thriller film written and directed by David Lynch.
Blending psychological horror with film noir and is named after the 1951 song of the same name.
. The film follows a college student who returns to his suburban hometown and discovers a severed human ear in a field, which leads him to uncover a vast criminal conspiracy involving a troubled lounge singer Nightclub act.
The screenplay of Blue Velvet had been passed around multiple times in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with several major studios declining it due to its strong sexual and violent content.
Blue Velvet initially received a divided critical response, with many stating that its explicit content served little artistic purpose. Nevertheless, the film earned Lynch his second nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director and received the year's Best Film and Best Director prizes from the National Society of Film Critics.
It came to achieve cult status
In the years since, the film has been re-evaluated, and it is now widely regarded as one of Lynch's major works and one of the greatest films of the 1980s.
In 2008, it was chosen by the American Film Institute as one of the ten greatest American mystery films.

Movie 2, The Straight Story

The Straight Story is a 1999 biographical road drama film directed by David Lynch.
It is based on the true story of Alvin Straight's 1994 journey across Iowa and Wisconsin on a lawn mower
.
. The film is generally regarded as one of Lynch's more accessible and mainstream works.
Alvin is an elderly World War II veteran who lives with his daughter.
When he hears that his estranged brother has suffered a stroke, Alvin makes up his mind to visit him and hopefully make amends before he dies.
Because Alvin's legs and eyes are too impaired for him to receive a driver's license, he hitches a trailer to his recently purchased thirty-year-old John Deere 110 Lawn Tractor, which has a maximum speed of about 5 miles per hour (2.2 m/s; 8.0 km/h), and sets off on the 240-mile (390 km) journey from Laurens, Iowa, to Mount Zion, Wisconsin.
The film was a critical success; reviewers praised the intensity of the character performances, particularly the realistic Realism (arts) dialogue which film critic Roger Ebert compared to the works of Ernest Hemingway.
