This is my favorite movie ever. I know there are a lot of people who don't like it, but to me there is just something about it. The music, the visuals, the whole messiah plot... It just makes me feel in a place I have been, or will be... at least in my dreams
i saw this movi when i was 11 with my mom who lovd reading the dune books...it was incredible how scared i was in parts, and how consumed i was by the film...paul fighting that robot training machine, those weird rectangular force shields, blue eyes, that guy who had to pet the cat to stay alive, spice sticks, sound guns? It literally blew my mind at the time, and i can still go back and watch it and feel some of those same feelings. Definately a very special movie to me.
I unashamedly love the film, the music, the visuals and the spectacle that it is. I know many people will disagree but, it's a dream, it's a journey and it's a myth.
Even if his attempt to sum up the two first boooks of Frank Herbert's most famous saga isn't unanimous, should David Lynch be thanked for having dared it, alike Dino de Laurentiis for having allowed it! The music by Toto and Brian Eno, the worms by Carlo Rambaldi, great actors to serve the story, everything in this motion picture is unforgettable! Perhaps because I saw it before reading the books I've never been disappointed by the movie. I was only 13 when it was released and I went in the theater only upon the names of Lynch, who I was venerating since The Elephant Man, my first great and still greatest cinema emotion and Rambaldi, who was one of my heroes since E.T. and the works I believed (like everyone else for when) they had been actually used in an other De Laurentiis production of John Guillermin's '76 King Kong! (The giant automated monkey being indeed a technological failure and finally very few used for the movie itself, but much more for its promotional advertising!).. Huh?! I realize I'm far from the start, as often.. Please accept my apologies! ;)
Chris Gordon I actually saw the film for the first time a couple of years ago and I was weirded out then later on I gave it a second viewing and thins made sense and now I love the film. It is an underrated gem for plenty of people to discover!
The best there ever was, and the best there ever will be, movies like this are rarely made, that can hold the feeling and no matter how many times you see it, it just brings chills, thank you david lynch for giving us this sci fi master piece.
I can't forget the night when Toto opened its concert in Zagreb with this tune in this March, and a roomful of people applaused with liberated souls, including me!
I LOVE this film...the atmosphere it achieves is fantastic...I don´t know if it was the genius of David Lynch or the talent of De Laurentis, but it has a magical vein...thanx for sharing that great soundtrack
I have every book. I have this movie, and the syfy television version. I first saw the movie at the theater. I didn't get it. I had to watch it again, never left the theater. I was completely overwhelmed....By far the best syfy novels EVER written. Long live Frank Herbert......
This is one of my favorite movies. The acting is superb,the music is wonderfull. I love all the differant fassets of the story,and the cariters. It seems most poeple I know don't like it as much be- couse it makes you think about the cariters and their relationships to each other.
HUH!...I think this was the last time we sat in a theater until the bitter end. The grandeur of the entire experience left us immobile, in a state of extreme WOW!
I have the soundtrack myself but several scores that are featured on this website appear to be longer than mine. The year before in 1983 the Michael Mann film "The Keep" was released and with it came an esoteric masterpiece of a soundtrack done by Tangerine Dream of which I have! But I have always paid credence to this soundtrack. Such warm peaceful scores - most notably the Prophecy Theme which started on here at roughly the 2:34 clip but stopped at 4:19. 80's Rock!!! Good Job!! Kudos To You!
Who here knows the "litany of fear" by heart and recites it during a root canal treatment? :P I was 6 or so when this movie came out. This movie, amazing on its own, introduced me to the even more so amazing books of Frank Herbert. The sleeper must awaken!
I love this film, and the soundtrack. When I was a little boy this cover art looked different to me. I still remember Paul and Chani standing that exact same way though. I just thought that the spaceships on the left and right side was a huge brown side wall, there was like an opening behind Paul and Chani that you could walk to, and the blue planet behind Chani was a small green planet. I do remember the colors on this cover art looking the same though, like the reddish, pinkish sky in the background.
I agree. For what it's worth, Lynch did the best job he could with only one film. Had he been able to make the film into a trilogy or even in two parts, more might've been accomplished (character development, integration of more story, etc.) The design and music of Lynch's film is what does it for me every time I watch the extended edition; he created something so unique. While the sci-fi channel miniseries had more time to flesh out the story and characters, Lynch's version is a true original.
The film is okay. The soundtrack is absolutely brilliant and epic as music video. I give it a 6.6/10, it's okay. The first time I watched it, I enjoyed it. So yeah, another guilty pleasure.
Indeed, I'm lying in my bed right now, listening! Btw I like Leto's theme too. Both make me feel like I'm on the hot and dusty surface of Arrakis. Listening just before sleeping sometimes makes me dream about it, that's undescribable!
I agree. There are so many concepts embedded in to the book that it was almost impossible to print into the movie, never the less it was a great effort, but not enough. Master piece as a tale but not as as a movie.
I agree............much maligned, way ahead of its time............people just didnt understand or have patience with this sci-fi masterpiece. If only critics would think for themselves instead of ganging up on movies they hear are bad............its a crying shame. I liked it anyway. Dune was the second film after Bladerunner to make more on video/dvd than it did at the box office.
@LandonKM I love that line! Great movie! Wish they'd made a trilogy out of it, to capture this epic in it's fullness. Still a great movie and soundtrack.
Frank Herbert has gone on record as actually liking the movie very much. I haven't read the book but personally I thought the only problem with the film was that it skimmed over large portions of the story (mostly the bits where Paul is training the desert people), so it could have really done with being a three hour movie. Aside from that the music is great, and Toto is one of my favourite bands.
Well... 3hrs wouldn't be sufficient ;) Original saga spawns over 6 books, thousands of pages hundreds of small plots intersecting, merging and splitting... And if we count all sequels an prequels written by herbert jr. we have material for netflix or hbo making tv series that will run for next 30 years... (Oh... that would be great!).
Recently I read the the Prequel trilogy of Dune involving the three houses, and currently reading the trilogy that takes place ten thousand years before Dune. I wonder if a movie will be made on either of those books.
now that i think about it, when i first saw the movie with my mom they handed outa sheet with words and definitions. you know a movie is gonna be good if they hand you a friggen glossary in the beginning before you sit down. I still have the thing somewhere, ill have to find it.
@gintherlover Note that this movie is based off a book published in 1965. Politics and religion are both apart of Dune, but only a part. The main character, Paul Atriedes was actually created to make fun of the superhero syndrome during the 1960's. I don't think Herbert's own religious beliefs have anything to do with Dune. He is a Buddhist, though raised Catholic.
once i have the time and energy to read the original dune novel, i will bathe myself once again in its words and really appreciate reading in between the well written lines of Frank Herberts imagination .
@gintherlover The Fremen or freemen were descended from zensunni wanderers who originally worshipped BuddhaAllah. You also had the zenshite. You also had the Orange Catholic Bible. Herbert's books following the novel Dune and the prequels done from his notes (his son and a coauthor did the prequel novels) showed that certain Earth religions had mutated and combined with other religions. Orange Catholics meaning the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics had put aside their differances.
@Jammed9000 : Actual Sci Fi! The thing is, because the story begins at around 20,000 AD, with a significant reboot of date tracking midway, virtually every aspect of that world looks unfamiliar to us. (in the storyline, the narrator says it's 10,000 years after the "Great Jihad" that spelled the start of the war to overthrow the "thinking machines". i.e., computers. That's why all tech is mind-based, not computer based.
The Feeling i get watching this is totaly unexplainable, its like watching for the first, everytime... Thank you David Lynch, for that masterpiece.
This is my favorite movie ever. I know there are a lot of people who don't like it, but to me there is just something about it. The music, the visuals, the whole messiah plot... It just makes me feel in a place I have been, or will be... at least in my dreams
I've never forgotten this track ever since seeing the film in the 80's, it is a masterpiece.
This is an Epic movie, and this song is just so beautiful
Saw this one in the theater with my mom as a kid. I read the books later. Love this movie!
i saw this movi when i was 11 with my mom who lovd reading the dune books...it was incredible how scared i was in parts, and how consumed i was by the film...paul fighting that robot training machine, those weird rectangular force shields, blue eyes, that guy who had to pet the cat to stay alive, spice sticks, sound guns?

I couldn't have said it any better Chris. I'm with you 100%.

@@jamesmoyner7499 have you read the books?? IF not the are a treasure.
The best there ever was, and the best there ever will be, movies like this are rarely made, that can hold the feeling and no matter how many times you see it, it just brings chills, thank you david lynch for giving us this sci fi master piece.
There is a wonderful, epic quality to the close theme of Dune. Toto NAILED it, plain and simple.
such an underrated movie a great sci-fi flick from the 80's!!
映画を見て、このエンドテーマもすぐ好きになりました。アフタービートの重さと静かさ、コード進行の神秘さにしびれました。さすがＴＯＴＯです。画像と編集も高評価です。
I can't forget the night when Toto opened its concert in Zagreb with this tune in this March, and a roomful of people applaused with liberated souls, including me!
Thanks for uploading this track, it's long been deleted! Wow! What a great song!
I LOVE this film...the atmosphere it achieves is fantastic...I don´t know if it was the genius of David Lynch or the talent of De Laurentis, but it has a magical vein...thanx for sharing that great soundtrack
I love this movie,the book and the movie is awesome!!!!!!
long live the fighters. Mohadib.

I feel waves of goosebumps as this track plays. Many thanks for posting it.
mowriter this movie soundtrack is goosebump central for sure
I like to end my day by laying in bed and listening to this BEAUTIFUL music.
One of those atmospheric touches that makes this movie unforgettable.
This is one of my favorite movies. The acting is superb,the music is wonderfull. I love all the differant fassets of the story,and the cariters. It seems most poeple I know don't like it as much be- couse it makes you think about the cariters and their relationships to each other.
I listen to song my entire life
Truly awesome. "Father! The sleeper has awoken!" :)
Awesome theme, this song is in the end of the movie with credits, very sad!
Toto is amazing and this movie too! is a cult classic!
HUH!...I think this was the last time we sat in a theater until the bitter end. The grandeur of the entire experience left us immobile, in a state of extreme WOW!
So Great!!! Pure Music :-)))))
best soundtrack that i ever heard..toto is amazing..never watched the movie but sure im gonna watch it
I love this film and this song........ one of my fav moovies.
Masterpiece, Hollywood should include it in the new 2010 DUNE film, it would be fantastic!
Que hermoso escuchar Toto en una película :)
Thanks for uploading this track
this movie is therapy
What a god damned good movie and soundtrack of course
Toto had awakened the sleeper!!!
Long Live the Fighters!
masterpiece!
I LOVE this music SO much!

old school sci fi\fantasy is da best, there's just this feeling of infinite wonder and imagination you can't get from these new cg movies
Chani. Nuff Said! 😍
So god damn good...thanks to the poster.
A longggggggg book to read
I love this film, and the soundtrack. When I was a little boy this cover art looked different to me. I still remember Paul and Chani standing that exact same way though. I just thought that the spaceships on the left and right side was a huge brown side wall, there was like an opening behind Paul and Chani that you could walk to, and the blue planet behind Chani was a small green planet.

Alan "Smithee" did a wondrous job directing this fantastic and cerebral story by Frank Herbert! " We call that one.."Mu'ah D'ib"...
whatever you want to call the movie,this is a great piece of music
I agree. For what it's worth, Lynch did the best job he could with only one film.

the 2nd half of this song realy dose blow my mind
The spice must flow!
Jeff fkin Porcaro.. Awesome and melodious beat!!!! RIP Jeff..
Said it once, I will say it again.
Toto? Frigging Toto?! I still can not come to terms with that :D Cracks me up.
Love this song regardless.
The film is okay. The soundtrack is absolutely brilliant and epic as music video. I give it a 6.6/10, it's okay. The first time I watched it, I enjoyed it. So yeah, another guilty pleasure.
1984, assisti ao filme em um cinema no Rio, essa música me tocou, marcou.
This is the song that will be played at the end of the world.
When the credits roll on our universe. This will be the song.
Indeed, I'm lying in my bed right now, listening! Btw I like Leto's theme too. Both make me feel like I'm on the hot and dusty surface of Arrakis.
Listening just before sleeping sometimes makes me dream about it, that's undescribable!
@stealthboy19 on the soundtrack i would imagine it is called end title theme
as it appears at the end of the film during the end credits
I like this I would see it All the best is the last one. and a very good movie the good old Days
Great f'n job Toto
This is incredible editing... great job
THE SPICE MUST FLOW
Shai-hulud!
TOTO made it no wonder is good :)
Epic and wonderful
totally, my favorite one from the movie
The end caught me moff guard & surprised me
superbe!
I agree. There are so many concepts embedded in to the book that it was almost impossible to print into the movie, never the less it was a great effort, but not enough. Master piece as a tale but not as as a movie.
The spice must flow!
Thou shalt not make a machine in the image of a human mind.

@LandonKM
I love that line!
Great movie! Wish they'd made a trilogy out of it, to capture this epic in it's fullness. Still a great movie and soundtrack.
@Gynie75 ...Unfortunately,not all of us,for we do not care or love those who are poor in body or spirit. I am happy that you have awoken.Love&Light
Thanks for posting!
Oh yes and....
"FATHER! Father, the sleeper has awakened!"
Ja hja chouhada!!
FOR THE BARON!
Pretty cool soundtrack, thanks for posting.

che bella!!
Inspirador...
One of my three favorite movie ending theme songs of all time; the other two are from Ender's Game and The Right Stuff.
Recently I read the the Prequel trilogy of Dune involving the three houses, and currently reading the trilogy that takes place ten thousand years before Dune. I wonder if a movie will be made on either of those books.
now that i think about it, when i first saw the movie with my mom they handed outa sheet with words and definitions. you know a movie is gonna be good if they hand you a friggen glossary in the beginning before you sit down. I still have the thing somewhere, ill have to find it.

@prettygurl1133 they have a extended version u can get on dvd now

@prettygurl1133 it might feel that way because VHS is pan and scan and DVD is full wide screen . also dvd is higher picture quality
would love the track being played during the wierding way scene with the freman
@hitokirimasamun Well sed man, there was really some special about the 1980's as well. It really had alot of good movies.
The ending was cool.
Michael Bolton is seen briefly banging a drum during the Paul-Feyd fight.
Mancava solo David Bowie come attore....qui si sarebbe intercalato a meraviglia!
....The spice....
@goronsam
you have good taste...
@hitokirimasamun well said
I probably should have used the past tense since he did die in the 80's. Anyway, I love the music from this movie.
