There are many fade cycles, especially in the extended version of the intro. I speculate it's because the exposition is very long and complex, and they needed to punctuate it and/or have her read each segment separately.

She absolutely is. And frankly speaking, the female cast of the 1984 version is much better looking than the one we have now (2021 & 2023). Lady Jessica : Francesca Annis Vs. Rebecca Ferguson. Francesca wins by a longshot, so much more beautiful. Princess Irulan : Virginia Madsen Vs. Florence Pugh. Virginia wins by a longshot, more beautiful and more regal looking. Chani : Sean Young Vs. Zendaya. Although Zendaya is a more appropriate choice for a girl living in a desert planet... I still find Sean Young more beautiful.

This is still the most epic opening to any sci fi film I have seen. Virginia Madsen absolutely wiped the floor with this performance. She would ALMOST have convinced me that Princess Irulan was an actual historical figure and that Arrakis was a real planet.

One of my all-time favorites. Saw it for the 1st time in the theaters when they released the directors cut. Originally i was disappointed. It wasn't until a few years later that i read the book that i understood how epic and diverse this universe was and the war being waged. Needless to say, the next time i watched it i fell in love with the movie and have continued to view it over the years like some guilty pleasure that is all my own.

+Sossitch This isn't 1990. What weird Twin Peaks episode are you talking about?

It would be really cool if Hans Zimmer teamed up with Toto to do a remastered version of the Dune 1984 main theme IMHO.

Why do people hate on this but are cool with the scrolling exposition in Star Wars. I loved this part as a child. A pretty princess was telling me a story.

I remember my old man dragging to see this when I was 12. I had no idea what the HELL was going on the entire time - all seemed so sinister, complex and serious. I have since come to love this movie. I'd guess I've rewatched it more times than any movie I own. Despite Lynch regretting the movie and it's departure from the books, omissions etc, I still love the style, music, sets, acting. It just works for me.

The most iconic opening scene in film history.

The statement by Princess Irulan that she almost forgot to say that the spice was only available on one planet always cracked me up. She was Bene Gesserit trained, they don't forget things like that - everything they say and do is carefully planned.

Brilliant opening. There's no other movie opening like it.

One of the most beautiful faces to ever grace the big screen

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Muad'Dib, then take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Muad'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place. -from Manual of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan

Nice. Laurent Garnier has some king records. I watched this film for the first time tonight and recognised the "travel to any part of the universe without moving" bit from a breakbeat techno track that I love.

For some odd reason, I ADORE the way she says 'melange'. Maybe she says it very softly and frenchly, yet is a 'smart' word, so she is smart too.

Every time I watch this Virginia Madsen defines the term "Heartbreaker" for me... She makes me yearn for a place I've never been...

I don't care what people say. I fucking loved this movie as a child, love it still. What ever faults it has, it's still a masterpiece. Very much a masterpiece compared to such horrific shit as Transformers. Praised be David Lynch, praised be Kwisatz Haderach, praised be the divided god! :-P

I haven't read the novel, but this intro puts me right there in this universe. The whole film is a cult classic of some sort. Also love the special effects. They are so different from likes of Star Wars. It really pulls you into a universe of its own.

I don't recall how many times I've watched this movie, and the intro still gives me chills. I believe it's the aesthetics and the overall impression this movie gives you - it really captures the alien humanity that exists i the year 10.191.David Lynchs style fits perfectly for Herberts philosophical Sci-fi. Like a painting, you can watch it over and over again because what gets you is indeed the humanity and universe that is presented to you, rather than the effects. Truly timeless work.

The opening titles is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen and heard.

Maddsen reading script for first time: "Very funny Dave. Now seriously, what's my real lines?"

She is beautiful!

This opening is great 👌👌👌

I like how this first starts out like a typical Lynch opening (eerie ambient work by Alan Splet and Lynch), then all of a sudden...HOT CHICK!

It doesn’t give the navigators the ability to fold space. The Holtzman engines fold space. The spice gives the navigators limited prescience so they can navigate the journey to avoid obstacles.

this and dust devil

Doc Brown and Marty McFly accidentally end up this far in the future, so they ask this chic where the hell they are. That's why she's narrating

Frank Herbert did say it was an allegory for oil. That the Spacing Guild was OPEC and such. But also that the mistakes of one man are magnified but those that follow him. Thus Paul was not some Messiah that could make it rain. But I think he was trying to say that no matter what, expect the unexpected. Also all the technology, even the weirding voice of the Bene Gesserit witches, is possible in theory. Its an amazing boo to read and he covers a lot of the orgin and inspiration for it at the end.

The cinematography on this film has always been really good.

I love the theatrical and extended cut of this movie. Without the movie I never would have read the novels, and despite it's flaws, the movie is great in its own right. The movies were also my introduction to David Lynch, one of my favorite directors.

Oh the great memories come back when I first seen this movie. I fell in love all over again.

the truth is I have seen this in my youth, right after reading the books for the first time... and this felt fabulous, overwhelming and perfect; I know people criticized Lynch's version but - while seeing its faults - I also feel that he nailed some of the things in the book perfectly - Eno's theme is perfect, the atmosphere, many of the baroque cyberpunk-ish visuals; from this point of view a await Villneuve's version with some anxiety - and hope he had the clout to not let his vision be corrupted by the - many - stereotypes and formulaic elements that plague Hollywood film making today

Virginia madsen was gorgeous, I didn’t realize she was in Dune!

Thank you very much!

All you people complaining about exposition should bare in mind that 1)the movie was already too long so if some extra scenes were added to "show not tell" it'd be even longer, thus "worse", 2) this exposition was a characteristic of the novel itself in every damn chapter 3) in other editions of the film you get even longer and worse exposition than these few moments of the gorgeous Irulan and of course 4)the things she says are in fact shown in the film but being Lynch it's useful to explain what the hell is going on.
