Edit->I remember that most folks didn't like the Lynch film because it tried to cram so much stuff into one film. I thought, given the time constraint, that they did a pretty good job. But I definitely wouldn't have minded if they'd made three feature length films of that original caliber.

I too prefered the original Dune movie to the mini-series one. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief with the excessive use of poorly-painted backdrops in place of footage of sand.
