December 14, 1984. Exactly 40 years ago, David Lynch's 'Dune' hit theaters for the first time. (lemmy.world)

compared to the novels

of all the many dozens of movie versions of books i've seen, there's been exactly one, imo, where the movie outdid the book (jurassic park). "the book is always better" isn't just a hollow saying. also, yea we all love villeneuve--his dune is great, but everything about lynch's dune just resonates with me more.

I'll throw in just about every Philip K Dick adaptation to film. PKD had amazing ideas, but horrible execution IMO.
