If you’re looking to revisit some of David Lynch‘s most seminal works following the iconic director-writer’s death on Thursday morning, there are a variety of box sets online featuring his expansive film collection.
Lynch radicalized American film with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like “Blue Velvet” “Mulholland Drive” and “Lost Highway,” and continued to meld elements of horror, film noir, the whodunit and classical European surrealism in the ’90s TV show “Twin Peaks.” Now, nearly all of his films are available in 4K in recently-released Blu-ray sets, in addition to an upcoming 4K re-release of “Twin Peaks,” available to pre-order on Amazon now.

For a more comprehensive offering, you can also find many of Lynch’s best films in this 9-disc Lime Green DVD Set, which includes “Eraserhead,” “The Elephant Man,” “Blue Velvet,” “Wild at Heart,” “Industrial Symphony No. 1,” and “Dumbland” — in addition to bonus content, one mystery disc and a pamphlet with rare film photos from set.
Coincidentally, it was also announced last month that Mark Frost and Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” is set to be re-released in physical media. The “Twin Peaks: From Z to A” box set drops on Feb. 3 and is currently available for pre-order on Amazon. The set features all three season of “Twin Peaks,” including the reboot series “Twin Peaks: The Return,” and the feature film “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me” — which was released one year after the original series was cancelled in 1991. Additionally, it includes more than 27 hours of bonus features across all three seasons, including cast and crew interviews, documentaries, deleted scenes and more.

Lynch revealed in 2024 that he had been diagnosed with emphysema after a lifetime of smoking, and would likely not be able to leave his house to direct any longer. His family announced his death in a Facebook post, writing, “There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’”
