Also, it would go great with the Criterion Brazil boxset and the new Dune Extended DVD to showcase how drastically a movie can change when you let Universal Pictures studio editing staff hack at your film!

Though many long-time Frank Herbert book aficionados tend to prefer the extended "Alan Smithee" television cut of Dune to Lynch's theatrical version, owing to the greater contextual sense it makes (the few misplaced, outtake "landing-strut" ship-approach scenes notwithstanding). It's a much more lucid film, overall.
