Fire Walk With Me is amazing, possibly Lynch's best work. I'd also recommend finding an extended cut of it, since it originally had 4.5 hours of material filmed, which was then cut down to 2.5 to make it more like a movie. Because of this, certain characters don't show up (which is fine in my opinion, it's Laura's (and to an extent, Teresa Banks') story, so the focus should be on them), but also bits that are pretty central to better understanding the film and mythology of Twin Peaks were cut, as well as half the scenes with Bowie in them, which are important for the Return.
The film is quite depressing, given how you pretty much know what's going to happen, and seeing Laura really struggling with finding out who BOB is and then trying to self medicate is really sad, especially when you see scenes of her in some of the lighter moments. What I also love is how seamlessly (because I watched everything in order right away when I first saw Twin Peaks) things fit, almost like it was planned out from the beginning. At the same time, you also have Cooper, who is basically in the same place as where the original run finishes, whereas while some of the rest of the characters have had 25 years pass, but are largely in the same places we left them.
