Next, Lynch created his own television series with Mark Frost, the highly popular murder mystery Twin Peaks ( 1990 – 1991 ); he also created a cinematic prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me ( 1992 ), a road movie, Wild at Heart ( 1990 ), and a family film, The Straight Story ( 1999 ) in the same period.

The Straight Story was independently shot along the actual route taken by Alvin Straight, and all scenes were shot in chronological order.

Unlike his prior films ( or any that would follow ), The Straight Story was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures after a successful debut at Cannes, was given a G rating by the MPAA and is the only Lynch film for which Lynch himself did not have a hand in the screenplay ( although it was co-written by his recurring associate, Mary Sweeney ).

The Straight Story was generally praised, with critics lauding Lynch's uncharacteristic subject matter.

The Straight Story was the recipient of 12 awards and 29 nominations.
