Good morning.  Apparently, Stanley Kubrick said that 'Eraserhead' was one of
his favorite films and he also screened the film for the cast and crew of
The Shining because that was the mood he wanted to achieve.

You can now purchase 'Eraserhead' on DVD from http://www.davidlynch.com/.  I
will do this very soon!  : ^)
