David Lynch please take the footage of Dune a make a director’s version!

The raining thing isn't in the screenplay. It is meant to end with Paul having a vision that will touch on that future but.... Dino.

The Spicediver edit puts so much back. Watch it if you haven't.

After seeing both parts of Denis Villeneuve's adaptation I have to say despite it's flaws the Lynch version is the closest to the spirit of the book.  The Spicediver edit is a window to a much more accomplished film. The latest deleted scene discovery with Alia makes me wonder how much was filmed and is waiting to be found.

The style is amazing. I wish the new dune ripped all the style off the old Dune.

Lynch’s version captured the drugy aspect and the conscious expanding concepts in a wonderful way, I think.  And that is what left me kinda flat about the new adaptation, no weirdness

I like the weirding modules. Remember Paul says to the Fremen that they are part of the weirding way he will teach them? Lynch explains it as him trying to avoid doing Kung Fu in the desert in wetsuits. I see it as The Voice but augmented with machinery. Lady Jessica teaching Bene Gesserit secrets to her husband's army and her son teaching it to the Fremen.

I was 10 when I 1st saw it in 1986. It was the summer and I was up til 4am watching this thing after Aliens and Conan the Destroyer. When it was finally ending and the sister made that last statement and the music started blasting and then it started raining, I've never been so locked into a movie after such a chaotic start. What an experience! I had to learn about a new world with a story that wasn't waiting for audience comprehension. I love the dialogue above all and the music. I find Lynch's Dune to be better than the new adaptation and the entire Sar Wars universe..And in 50 yrs it'll be talked about the way the Godfather is today, except Dune will deserve it. Dune is the whole point of cinema.

The pyramid in Prometheus is definitely castle Harkhonnen from Giger's design work for Dune. It's not a vague nod. It's essentially the same design.

the main probs with davey boy's dune, is that it shuldve been three movies and it shouldve been marketed as a trippy adult sci fi drama.

I was 15 when it came out and remember the pamphlets, lol. I thought it was fine. Thing is, in the 80s as a teen I watched so many terrible, schlocky sci-fi and fantasy movies that Dune was really one of the better ones all in all. It's a mess for sure, and it typifies the flawed masterpiece, but I've always loved it. The production design is classic Lynch, and some of the scenes are legit iconic.

I still maintain that with some minor tweaks and more runtime, Lynch’s Dune could’ve been the bomb. Lynch’s Dune could’ve been better than Villanuve’s new adaptation. And I say this after having watched both of the new films in IMAX at the theater.

I was a Dune fan so Lynch wasn't a concern seeing the movie but I could see an arthouse directors hand in the final product for all his protestations since. As far as Dune fan was concerned I was just happy to see something up on the screen but it fell far short of the book. It was like they did the first couple of chapters really well but that was about 3/4's of the movie and then they just shot through the rest of the story in the final quarter. What saved it was the set design, the cast, the music and the feel of the place. It was a baroque future which was such a change from the white sterility of Star Wars and by extension every other sci-fi movie since it had come out. The good guys were monumental, the baddies were corrupt and crazy, it was great like a movie about a prophecy should be. The galaxy Lynch created was self contained and everything fit so if someone had come along and chopped up what I did to fit their own vision  I wouldn't be pleased but as a professional I've done my job, what they do with it is their concern, said fck'em and moved on. I think that's what Lynch did and it was only the negative reception that made him distance himself from the movie. Still I enjoy the film and have no problems putting it next to the new adaptation which is altogether a far more serious effort  even when I agree with Harlan Ellison that Dune is unfilmable but still exists on a galaxy spanning saga in my imagination.

Lynch was and is a Genius
I love this book series and the Lynch film is my #1 favorite,
We truly need the Lynch Final cut.
The fans deserve it.
Long live the Fighters!

I really like Dune 1984 as well.

Great video, weird to find someone who agrees with my thoughts on David Lynch's Dune so completely.

In fairness, I should say I saw the film in the theater in 1984, when I was just 12. I had not yet read the novel. And, nevertheless, I for one understood it just fine. And I was a fan of it, and still am. Yes it had flaws. But it had plenty of merits also. The casting. The soundtrack. The sets, cinematography, and yes the guild navigator. I loved the weirding modules, without which it doesn't make sense how the Fremen freed themselves from oppression; dude, the "guns" were absolutely necessary! I loved how the body shields worked as well. The costuming and the lighting were spot on. Basically, despite its flaws and shortcomings, this movie got a lot more right than wrong. ... If only David Lynch had full and total, complete creative control, esp. final cut / edit.
