It would be remiss of not to make note of the passing of the great Hollywood auteur David Lynch. A huge loss to cinema. Here are his 10 favourite movies, of which we wholeheartedly approve.

My 'Most Watched' Cast and Directors on @letterboxd.social for 2024, which gives an indication of where my viewing has been focused over the past 12 months! I love that it's mostly a bunch of guys working in silent cinema a century ago. And Hugh Jackman. 😄 #filmsky

A set of international posters for Miracle on 34th Street, including one from the UK where it was originally released as The Big Heart. #miracleon34thstreet #classichollywood #classicfilm #christmasfilm #wimborne

If you're wondering why this, the original poster, doesn't even hint at its festive setting, that's because it was initially released in June 1947! But we'll be watching it at the right time of year and we hope you can join us.
