The Strangers! Only movie that has legitimately scared me since the Exorcist. Unless I'm wrong, since it was like a friend's cabin in the Strangers.
Name that Movie!

Yeah, like the psycho sexual assault on Dern is just like... ok...Lynch is a maniac, some of his stuff is exceptional, some is too far over the top. I liked Wild at Heart, but the Wizard of Oz shout out was random AF.
Sculpt you pick the next flick, I've come up with halve of them ITT.
Yep, Eraserhead was the first Lynch I saw. In Heaven Everything in Fine was a very evocative song to use, used incredibly well. Isaak's Wicked Game is used nicely in Wild at Heart; the guitar sound, hollow body reverb bellow and his string touch note-bending with that reverb is really ethereal. I didn't like his yodel on that song at first, but it really works. Also excellent saturation of music in Twin Peaks.
I've actually haven't seen Mulholland Falls yet. But yeah, Lynch's work is a mixed bag with some tour de force scenes.

Nope, not the Strangers. But it's the same time period in the mid-2000's.

Next hint -- when the couple arrives at the motel the desk clerk is watching a video with people screaming bloody murder.

This is a horror film starring two fairly well known stars. The wife starred in the Underworld films, and the husband starred in Idiocracy.

Nope, next hint.
Both Aimee and the other star of the movie played by actor/actress that were household names. He, a great leader.
He is no longer alive, and just today a very close associate of his passed away.
Very old movie.

It's Mulholland Dr. My favorite is Lost Highway. Its like the precursor to Mulholland. Has Robert Blake in it before he killed his wife which makes his character even more creepy.
That made it too easy. I'll let someone else get it as i'd pass on my go anyway.

No idea. Are you saying a famous actor died today? Or just someone who was famous died today, who the film star was friends with? Who died today? I took a peak at a few lists, I didn't see any famous actors I recognized.

The actor who starred in the movie, had a 2nd career and worked extremely closely with someone who just died.
