The majority of email I get regarding this site is enquiring as to where various Lynch films can be bought online. This page is for those for whom search engines have failed.
Eraserhead As far as I know Eraserhead isn't currently generally available in the US but it can be ordered from the UK/Europe. Eraserhead VHS Eraserhead DVD update: US version soon to be available from David Lynch's official site
Elephant Man USA - Elephant Man VHS Elephant Man DVD UK/Europe - Elephant Man VHS Elephant Man DVD
Dune A directors cut was promised but it finally materialised as a re-edited TV pilot (to which Lynch insisted his director's credit was removed). The original cinema release is still the definitive version for now. USA - Dune VHS Dune DVD UK/Europe - Dune VHS Dune DVD
Blue Velvet USA - Blue Velvet VHS Blue Velvet DVD UK/Europe - Blue Velvet VHS Blue Velvet DVD
The Cowboy & The Frenchman A short made for French TV. Previously unavailable, even in France, but now featured on a new DVD collection, The Short Films of David Lynch. The disc includes The Cowboy & The Frenchman, The Alphabet, The Grandmother, Six Men Getting Sick, The Amputee and Lumiere. It is available exclusively from David Lynch's official site (requires Flash).
Twin Peaks The complete first series is available as a DVD box set. There are also VHS collections of the rest of the series and many different versions of the pilot. The European release of the pilot (on VHS only) features an extra 15 minutes of footage providing a rather hurried denouement. Unfortunately it's not on general release any more but you shouldn't have any trouble getting it second hand. The US pilot DVD is a Japanese import without the extra 15 mins. USA - Twin Peaks Pilot DVD Twin Peaks First Series VHS Twin Peaks First Series DVD UK/Europe - Twin Peaks First Series DVD
Wild At Heart DVD only available from the UK and VHS only available from the US. Again, the VHS has been released in the past at budget price so there shouldn't be any trouble getting it second hand. USA - Wild At Heart VHS UK/Europe - Wild At Heart DVD
On The Air Lynch's short lived sit-com was very hard to track down but you can now buy a DVD from www.revok.com.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Again, a directors cut has been rumoured but currently the only available version is the cinematic release. There is one slight difference between the US and European versions - the US version features subtitles in the nightclub scene while the European version does not. USA - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me VHS Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me DVD UK/Europe - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me VHS Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me DVD
