Dune
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. The planet is the only source of the drug melange (spice), which allows prescience and is vital to space travel, making it the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe.
A huge box office failure upon release, not managing to make back its budget, Dune is a stunning attempt to realise the vision of the novel on the big screen. David Lynch largely disowned the film, having his name removed from all versions except the theatrical cut. It is nevertheless an incredible experience due to its talented cast, winning practical special effects and quite simply full of ideas and moments that no other filmmaker would dare to put into a mainstream theatrical picture.
