Mulholland Drive won the David Lynch favorite movie poll over on Threads.

MIDNIGHT MOVIES: FROM THE MARGIN TO THE MAINSTREAM is a documentary you should watch if you love movies and the culture behind them. I love documentaries like this & hearing from legends like Romero, Waters, & Lynch. So much fun hearing the history of the midnight movie #filmsky #moviesky

It’s so sad, yet so ironic that Neil Gaiman died the exact same day as Terry Pratchett.
It's so sad that Chevy Chase died after Christmas Vacation but then was briefly resurrected for Community but then died again shortly after... rip
