Movie 1, Dune

Dune is a 1984 American epic space opera film written and directed by David Lynch and based on the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert.
It was filmed at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City.
The soundtrack Dune was composed by the rock band Toto, with a contribution from Brian Eno.
The setting is the distant future, chronicling the conflict between rival noble families as they battle for control of the extremely harsh desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune.
After the novel's initial success, attempts to adapt Dune as a film began in 1971.
A lengthy process of development followed throughout the 1970s, during which Arthur P. Jacobs, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Ridley Scott unsuccessfully tried to bring their visions to the screen.
In 1981, executive producer Dino De Laurentiis hired Lynch as director.
The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $30.9 million against a $40–42 million budget.
At least four versions have been released worldwide.
Lynch largely disowned the finished film and had his name removed or changed to pseudonyms in the credits on certain versions.
The film has developed a cult following, but opinion varies between fans of the novel and fans of Lynch's films.
