I read the Dune books in my teens and totally loved them.  But, even though Eno did some music for it, David Lynch directed it, Sting walks around in his underpants in it, Coop (Kyle MacLachlan) is it's lead actor, and Max von Sydow graces it with his presence, and Jean-Luc (Patrick Stewart) swaggers around in it, I just can't recommend the movie version of Dune.  Not even one tiny moment of it's THREE hours.  As quoted from the movie, "It is not Good.  It is bad."
