Heheh I was gonna mention Dune too. Amazaing how such a great book can be made into such a bad movie.

Hey, I loved that movie! Granted, I watched the movie before reading the book (IIRC I was eight when it came out) but it helped to shape my ideas of what it is to be more-human-than-human, and fed my burgeoning messiah complex. The thought that one could shape the world with a word is a powerful (and somewhat biblical) concept. When I finally did read the book I was bitterly disappointed that the wierding way was so horribly misrepresented. Once I finished the book I vastly prefered the true Version, so much so that I even pursued the martial arts (and some yoga), at least partially, in an attempt to gain some small understanding of prana-bindu. Needless to say, Dune is one of my favourite series.

My, that was a little OT.
