Dune or Twin Peaks are probably going to be more accessible than anything else.
For Eraserhead, I understand the metaphor of how parenting can be larger-than-life and terrifying and I see how Eraserhead was trying to embody that but I very much didn't appreciate the highly pessimistic ending. It's an early movie that would have benefited immensely from an alternate ending on its DVD.
I think there's a lot more to Eraserhead than that! I also don't really see the ending as pessimistic personally.
Lynch: "Believe it or not, Eraserhead is my most spiritual film."
Lean: "Elaborate on that?"
Lynch: "No, I wont. No one sees it."

The beauty of Lynch films is that everyone can interpret it in their own way!
I know what you're trying to say, but that's also true of every other movie.
Well Lynch famously said this over and over about his films — that they mean whatever people think they mean.
Watch a few interviews where he is asked what a film of his means. A smirk comes on his face and he repeats his mantra.
He never let on.

No, there's far more room for interpretation than in a typical movie.
