“Eraserhead,” “The Elephant Man,” “Blue Velvet,””Wild at Heart,” “Twin Peaks,” “Mulholland Drive,” “Lost Highway,”  “The Straight Story,” an unforgettable attempt at “Dune” — nobody did weird like David Lynch.

The Maverick ‘s Maverick iconoclastic filmmaker died today. He was 78.

Many people I interviewed — Rossellini, Loggia, Watts, etc — who worked with him would share stories about his instinct for “odd. ” Kyle MacLachlan verified one of the funniest, Lynch walking into a morgue set on while filming “Twin Peaks” as the florescent lights were shorting out, flickering. 

“Aaaaahhh, leave it,” Lynch told the fretting grips trying to fix a bizarre, quirky touch that it brought to the scene.

For years, he insisted film distributors print the following in bios to the press kits for his movies

“David Lynch, Eagle Scout, Missoula, Montana.”

On brand. Pithy and perfect. An apt epitaph, too.

Watch one of his films in tribute. Another great way to remember him? This performance, the best thing in Spielberg’s “Fabelmans.”
