"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.  I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." --Paul Atreides, Quote from Dune, the 1984 motion picture directed by David Lynch, based on the novel Dune by Frank Herbert. rr14ohh
Lynch's Dune in my Opinion is a Great Masterpiece of  European Culture even though Lynch was an American. I have not seen all d Adaptations of Dune but d only one I have been happy w is d 177 min Extended Edition. Even in d Extended Version their r some Scenes missing from a TV Version which I no longer have.
