[DMCForum] Best movie adaptation of Dune?

["Ryan Wright" <ryanpwright@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recall seeing bits and pieces of Dune in the early eighties - I'm
guessing this was the David Lynch version released in '84. At one
point during the nineties, some friends and I rented Dune, but I've no
idea what version we got. I recall it was bloody boring and went on
and on for hours; I gave up shortly into it. Maybe this was the 3 hour
extended edition of the original '84 version?

But the concept sounds like fun and I'd really like to sit down and
watch this thing once and for all. Apparently there was a new version
made somewhat recently (within the last 6 years or so?); there also
appears to be a "Children of Dune" miniseries and a television
adaptation by some guy named John Harrison that appears to be
something on the order of 12 hours long?

So what's the deal? What would you recommend? Or should I just avoid them all?

-Ryan
