Trivia:

The song "Sycamore Trees" featured in the series finale, but appearing on the movie soundtrack, is claimed by Norwegian pop group A-Ha to be an unauthorized cover of their song "Sycamore Leaves" written in 1989. A-Ha band member Pål Waaktaar sued David Lynch (Lynch wrote the lyrics for Sycamore Trees) for plagiarizing, but eventually lost the case.

Quotes:

Mrs. Tremond's Grandson: [to Laura; whispering] The man behind the mask is looking for the book with the pages torn out. He is going towards the hiding place.

Pure Lynch

I just watched this movie again for about the 13th time, and it just keeps getting better and better. This movie is amazing! I had the chance of following the series from the pilot to the final episode in a span of three weeks. I then watched the movie for the first time right after. Let me start by saying everything that happens in Twin Peaks from the series to the movie all makes perfect sense. This is something which needs to be viewed carefully, and thought about very clearly. I'm not going to tell you what I think it's all about but I'm pretty damn sure I know, and I know well enough to say this makes perfect sense. I will also say if you have not seen the television show Twin Peaks (season 1&2) don't even bother with this movie. I am truly tired of hearing people complain about this movie because of their lack of understanding. If you have not seen the show, you will not understand this movie.. So go out and watch the show and then think about watching this FANTASTIC movie.
