My experience on eBay has shown Lynch features to be very rare. The Elephant Man on 16mm shows up from time to time but I haven't seen any other of the classic Lynch films (I recall seeing Blue Velvet, I think, on 35mm, offered years ago). The New Hollywood gems - excepting Lucas blockbusters like Star Wars etc. - are hard to find and many from the 1970s are of course faded. A common refrain: It's a shame that much great 1970s American cinema was made after the demise of Technicolor.
I have had Eraserhead twice on 16mm , both great copies and Blue Velvet does turn up occasionally on Ebay .
I don't think Elephant Man was a big seller for Derann on super 8mm , so it is rare I guess.
Never seen Dune on any format .
The Elephant Man wasn't sold for very long before Derann gave up printing B&W on Colour stock. I think the lab pulled out due to too much wastage from badly tinted prints.
I've had 16mm copies of Eraserhead, 'Blue Velvet' and 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me'. The latter two on nice Agfa colour stock.
I missed out on a print of 'Wild at Heart'. All ex-rental prints. The Lynch films were very popular in the art-house circuit in the nineties.
So, they are out there!
