The movie is a cult classic, but I feel like it is more of a participation award than because it is a good sci fi movie. The mini-series might be a bit better (newer at least), but still not very...

So is each book a story in it self or you have to read the series in order. I'm not much of a book reader and this one seems like a daunting task :eek:

I think Prochnow was underused - but I grant you he and Dean Stockwell did play good parts. The problem is you skipped over the rest of the cast. You can fill the rest of the movie with screams,...

Heretics of Dune was such a drag that I didn't even bother to go to Chapterhouse. Now it looks like I have to give it a second try. I agree that God Emperor was probably the best of the series.

I've read all six multiple times, and I'd say that God Emperor and Chapterhouse are probably my two favorites, followed by Dune. They get a bad rep, but I really enjoy them. Just my two cents.

Try the 4 Hyperion books. I would say they are just as good. It has been too long for me to say if it is better than Dune or not. It is certainly my favorite series aside from the Thrawn Trilogy.

Some find it a bit dense first getting into it as there's a fair bit of plot development and political back story as you work through the books... but it's worthwhile at least once in your life.

Not necessarily. While the second one is just as good (kinda,) I managed to stop just fine after the third or the fourth (can't remember now.) Only bought the first two, though.
