I read Dune as a teenager and my expectations were exceeded with the film, but I was super nervous they'd ruin it somehow lol. But my wife watched it fresh with no background and really dug it. It's honestly a cinematic masterpiece, I really enjoy it. Up to the ending of Dune 2, anyway...but I'll keep my mouth shut for fear of spoiling things.

I watched that new Kevin Costner movie recently about the old west and it was a real trip. I enjoyed it and had no idea what it was prior to watching it. When I was younger I hated spaghetti westerns but maybe I'm coming around a bit...the slow burn storylines and stoic nature of the characters is something I am appreciating more the older I get.
