The renowned movie director, David Lynch, who was widely acclaimed for his distinctive, somber style seen in films like “Blue Velvet,” “Mulholland Drive,” and the television show “Twin Peaks,” passed away a few days prior to his 79th birthday.

His most memorable works spanned from the gritty neo-noir style of “Mulholland Drive”, to the darkly twisted Gothic of “Blue Velvet”, to the unique and quirky “Twin Peaks”.
