Actually I do like Dune, especially after seeing it on DVD, which plays out better than I remember it in the theater - probably the small screen speeds up the pacing.

Dune was supposed to be written and directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, who did El Topo (now THAT'S a kinky film - and truly unforgettable!). He has a singularly pecular vision that IMO would have made for a spectacular film, but he was fired by Dino DeLaurentis and David Lynch was hired to replace him.

All things considered, Lynch did a pretty good job condensing the massive novel into a 2 hour movie - with about 7-1/2 hours left on the cutting room floor.
