Twin Peaks and Eraserhead are two of the most r-star pieces of schlock I've ever suffered through.
I think The Straight Story is the best thing he ever did, and other than the premise, which was based on a true story and is only slightly odd, is not weird at all.

People have different tastes. If you could get past the weirdness you’d find that “schlock” is well-made and often beautiful. But if it’s not for you, it’s not for you. Nothing wrong with liking vanilla.
