Movies That Took Ages to Make

7. Eraserhead

When David Lynch set out to make this epically weird movie, he had no funding and all the time in the world to finish his student film. Over the course of five years, the director worked extra jobs as a newspaper deliverer and received some monetary help from his friends Jack Fisk, Sissy Spacek, and Catherine Coulson to complete the project. Today, it’s known as one of his strangest and most compelling movies.
