Dune trilogy marathons will be the next Lord of the Rings movie marathons. I'm so excited.

chani's last words to paul in the first movie: this is only the beginning.

chani's last words to paul in the second: this isn't the end

Best 5 hour movie ever

That cut to Chani after she says "This is only the beginning" with that Hans Zimmer drop is my absolute favorite part of the whole thing.

Princess Irulan’s diary entries be reading like fine literature.

I am so pleased movies of this EPIC CALIBRE are still being made.  Dune 2 just made Marvel films look so goofy in comparison.

'my father has always been guided by the calculus of power' - sums so beautifully, what has already happened and what is yet to transpire.

I love this version of Princess Irulan.  Between the way DV scripted her and the way Pugh played her, you really get a sense of what a next level human being she is.  Extremely intelligent and thoughtful, very strong sense of morality.  But also extremely shrewd, with an innate sense of the "calculus of power."  She hates what her father did to Leito, but she doesn't get emotional about it because she knows he hates it too.  I feel like any other movie wouldn't have been able to resist making her the "righteous" one, giving her some big dramatic scene crying about the injustice of it all.  Instead, with the minimum amount of screen time, they somehow managed to give her this incredibly subtle, but very clear characterization.

2:45 "And the Emperor said...nothing." Being forced to wait patiently to hear Christopher Walken's voice in this movie hit like a ton of bricks. A bittersweet subversion of expectations. Beautifully scripted, beautifully executed.

I just love the simplicity of Florence’s voice saying “and the Emperor said….” *cut to an icy Christopher Walken…. “Nothing”

So simple but effectively epic.

That little bird call stilgar does is delicious

Honestly they could have just released both movies in one 5-hour long cut without removing anything and I’d be happy

Part 2’s opening can be a brilliant teaser trailer for the actual film itself. It also feels well like a passage in a book describing major background events on the page, only visualised.

If they released these together in theatres, I would go and watch them again and sit for 5 hours no problem.

1:38 the sudden change of mood. How subtle.

Paul saying "My road leads into the desert," is the understatement of the millennium. That single phrase is going to be true for him over, and over, and over.

Christopher Walken's acting just via his haunted gaze at 2:47 is perfect. You can see so much going through his head: Guilt, anger, sorrow. He clearly is not happy about what he's done by killing Duke Leto and wiping out House Atreides, but he also clearly doesn't regret it.

Parts 1 and 2 definitely flow like one film. I also love how Irulan’s monologue parallels Chani’s of the first film’s opening. Two love interests of Paul that represent the Fremen and the politics of the Imperium, two sides of the same coin.

Is anybody else absolutely obsessed with the "Power over Spice is power over all" sound? I just set it as my text tone. and my ringtone is now Paul's speech to the Fremen.

The fact that out worlders have no idea fremen can ride sandworms until here and the worm army scene at the end of 2
