Is the Elephant Man to David Lynch what Ed Wood is to Tim Burton? They are their most direct films.

It`s the one where he uses the least amount of abstractions and symbolic visual language for sure.

The Elephant Man
and
The Straight Story
are also Lynch's least pretentious films, and therefore his best. The only time
The Elephant Man
sinks into typical Lynchian pretense is the "nothing ever dies" star scene at the end.

Actually, believe it or not, Blue Velvet is the most straightforward David Lynch film.
