Even though I've never finished the book, I kind of grew up on Dune. My older brother was a huge sci-fi nerd when he was a teenager and recorded a copy of the (at the time, very rare) broadcast version of the 1984 Dune and used to absolutely wear that VHS tape out. We later watched the Sci-fi Channel mini-series when it came out too. The new movies are great, and I had a similar experience with my SO. She knew nothing about Dune and really dug it. Same with lots of other people I know. Fantastic movies! I'm hoping the third movie they're apparently working on is more of the same, and it'll take the story to places that are entirely unfamiliar to me to boot.
