This topic is kind of fascinating to me... Two of them were directed by David Lynch!:
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) Alice's Restaurant (1969) Fellini Satyricon (1970) Blue Velvet (1986) The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) Short Cuts (1993) Mulholland Dr. (2001) So, please share your thoughts on them. Which is your individual favorite?  |

Mulholland Dr. is the best of the four, with Blue Velvet right behind. Both in my top ten of all time.
Short Cuts and Last Temptation are both very good but nowhere near the level of Lynch's twofer.

I don't really get Blue Velvet ......to me it just gets randomly weird (um) and stalls, love the Scorsese and Altman ......but Mulholland Drive is amazing in that for a movie that is THAT out there and complex it is incredibly lean, economical and tight........there may not be an unnecessary SHOT in it.......not scene but shot ........it's kind of a miracle tbh  |

I'm absolutely fascinated by such cases too but there are definitely more than four. Off the top of my head, there are also Fellini for Satyricon, Arthur Penn for Alice's Restaurant, Mark Robson for The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. I'm sure there's something else out there.

JangoB mikediastavrone96 - I edited the original post to include the ones you mentioned. So... Which one is your favorite?!  I haven't seen Alice's Restaurant. If someone who is good with computers wants to find out if there are any more... Please do so! stephen pacinoyes - Please feel free to share your thoughts on the new ones.  Edit: I love this image of Fellini directing American actor Hiram Keller in Satyricon:  |

Sorta Woman in the Dunes, as it was nominated for Foreign Language one year, and only director the following year. |

I think it's pretty much perfect that Lynch is the one to have this unique distinction since his movies are all about directorial vision. Although I've always been a little surprised that Blue Velvet didn't manage to get an Original Screenplay nomination. Obviously, Hopper should've been recognized too. They nominated him for Hoosiers that year (and he's good in it) but I'll keep pretending it was actually for Blue Velvet.
Satyricon not getting Production Design and Costume Design nomination is a total joke too. But that lone Fellini nod is badass.
My favorite of these films is Blue Velvet but I think the best directorial achievement to get such a nomination was Mulholland Dr. And what an awesome nomination too! I don't think AMPAS has done something this cool ever since.

Blue Velvet is the best of this group, with Mulholland Drive and The Inn of the Sixth Happiness in the place and show positions.

Just a hat tip: It's best to watch Mulholland Drive at least twice. The film makes better sense the second time around.
