I agree with this. I completely stick by it being one of the worst films i've ever seen but clearly it works for others or it wouldn't have made the list so i'd give it a shot especially if you love Lynch and you own it.

Also join the David Lynch Club, Tokeza :cool:

Hope Lynch doesn't sue me for including Dune related threads in the David Lynch Club. You may have to create an Alan Smithee Club, Yoda.

Totally agree - my own opinion however is to not bother with it ;)

I've seen only Dune from the first set. It's awful, and not in the so-bad-its-good type of way. It's awful, just awful. Looper looked interesting at first, but I never got around to it. I don't really care if I see it or not.

I know I'm only going to see less than half my list. If that. So far, not so good.

Have a little faith, buddy.

It would help if Mr Minio would vote in these darn things though.

It was expected. I'll be happy with seeing at least 5 make it, ha.

Welli, i dont really disagree, there are so many movies to watch and we all try to make selections on what to watch and to be blunt Dune is in the bottom of that pile of films :)

Would love to join the Lynch Club, do you have a link?

Neither from my list, but I have seen them both. So far it is off to a great start!

My List: 0

Seen: 2

I saw Looper a while back, and I remembered liking it so I rewatched it for this countdown. I liked it more this time, but it didn't make my list. It's a good movie, but not a great movie.

I tried watching Dune many years ago, but all I remember is being so bored with it that I turned it off part way into the movie. I haven't had any interest in trying it again.

I remember disliking Dune very much the first time I saw it. I had already read the books twice at that time, so you could say I was a fan. I just thought it tried to cram as much scenes from the (first) book into the pellicule.

But then I revisited it, and holly molly do I like it! How did Lynch manage to adapt such a dense and rich universe, that is a mystery to me. Plus, the soundtrack by Toto is amaazing :)

Btw, I must be the one putting it a #4, and I'm glad I did, because now it's on the list, and some of you may revisit it.
