Lynch's Dune is one of my all time favourite movies. I watched it a lot growing up and it didn't make a lick of sense to me, but I still loved the world it created. Later on I saw the extended edition (on laser disk baby!) and it became a lot more clear. And then finally I read the book and it all made sense to me.

Yes the SyFy Mini-Series is more true to the book, but their pronunciations make it unbearable to watch for me. "Hark-e-nin" vs "Har-ko-nin" drives me up the wall.

Another thing I love about it is how surreal Lynch creates the future. To me it's one of the most immersive sci-fi movies that really takes you out of this reality and into it's own and it does it with minimal flash and special effects.

The Guild navigators are gross and amazing. The Lynch Baron Harkonin is possibly my favourite Sci-fi villain of all time.

Mostly agree... I have always loved the look of Lynch's Dune... I want the look of Lynch's Dune with the story telling of the mini series... :)

Yes! I love this movie! I watched it often growing up and still revisit it today. It wasn't until I was a teenager when I found out it was supposedly 'bad.' I've been having conversations where I'm on defense about it ever since. Most people just tell me I like it because I grew up with it, they might be right, but that won't stop me proudly declaring "that movie is fucking rad," when I hear co-workers or friends bring it up.
