1984 Dune was enjoyable as a bonkers Lynch movie, less so as a Dune adaptation.

I actually credit the 1984 Dune with turning me on to Lynch.

1984 Dune was also kinda legit decent for the first 40 minutes or so. It gets pretty bad after Paul meets Chani.
Kinda strange considering its movie that turned him away from making big movies. He hates the final version, was not allowed to the cutting room and the studio basically tried to make very different much more pop shorter vision with material Lynch shot.

I think there are still rumors about him having/making directors cut that could happen. That would surely be very dofferent movie.
