Lynch's was still my favorite version of Dune despite flaws.

I thought I was the only one who preferred David Lynch's Dune. I'm glad to find out I'm not alone. I explain to people that it depends on if you're a bigger David Lynch fan or a Frank Herbert fan. I have nothing against Herbert, but I guess there's something about Lynch's work that speaks to me, even a movie like Dune that he himself hated.

I am Herbert "fan". I think Lynch captured better the religious part, the mysticism of Dune. Without this, Dune is just another first person shooter.
