It also includes Lynch's version, but that full on Alan Smithee version is a treat for all Dune fans. I recommend it simply to get a glimpse of all that footage that Lynch shot but the producers cut outFranco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-32672046141333571202015-09-10T21:24:09.075-07:002015-09-10T21:24:09.075-07:00Love this movie.

The production design in this film is amazing, so creative and inventive. And that special Lynch touch just make it such a unique film. One of the most under appreciated sci-fi flicks of the 80s, for sure.Roman J.

So are the books, love the books. <br /><br />Debbie: Yeah, sometimes they aren't great, but they were the standard effects of the time. A minor hiccup for me, the film itself is too amazing in so many ways. <br /><br />Chuck Harrison: Agree, still amazing, it's one of the films I've re-watched the most in my life. If you're a fan of Mullholand Drive, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on my take on the film. On this article, I try and decipher the mystery: <br /><br />http://filmconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2013/12/mulholland-dr-film-analysis.html<br /><br />Check it out and let me know what you think of my interpretation of it!

Another fav film I like by Lynch is Mulholland Drive which is a satire on Hollywood mix with murder at the sametime. But Dune is still my favorite film of his.chuck harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447022182770566911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-51503358320944618372015-09-07T12:35:08.827-07:002015-09-07T12:35:08.827-07:00What let "Dune" down (so to speak) were ...What let "Dune" down (so to speak) were the special visual effects. Amittedly there are some astonishing sets and mechanical effects, and the film does have a kind of grandiose magnificence about it, but the special visual effects weren`t up to the new incredibly high standards that had been achieved in then recent movies like Poltergeist, Return of the Jedi, Ghostbusters, and The Empire Strikes Back. They should`ve hired Richard Edlund not Barry Nolan then the film would`ve indeed been an all-time classic.
