Why Lynch matters
Most have seen this before, but it's worth seeing a thousand times over. The view of Frank (Hopper) at the 00:54 mark might be Lynch's finest shot. It doesn't get any better than this, folks. (note: 00:54 mark if clock ticks down; 00:39 if counts up)
he re-worked that idea in mulholland drive in the theatre of unreality with the two women, didnt he

You betcha, especially the use of Orbison on both accts. I love how he kept the same color schemes 21 years later.

lynch captures that state between dreams and waking like no else, which is why sandman is so very appropriate ...
he's the johnny lennon of spooky somnambulism in films.
along those lines, i suggest you go and rent peter weirs 'last wave' if you haven't already seen it. apocalyptic dream time redux, if i can throw some impressive sounding non-words about.
