Acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch is known for some of the best movies of all time, including "Mulholland Drive" (2001), "Blue Velvet" (1986), and "Eraserhead" (1977). Of course, he also created the cut classic '90s show "Twin Peaks," which returned after almost three decades for another season in 2017. But while Lynch is widely considered one of the great directors, that doesn't mean his credits are perfect. Case in point: His "Dune" adaptation which came out in 1984.
After "Dune" the novel by Frank Herbert came out in 1965, a handful of talented filmmakers tried to bring it to life, including Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ridley Scott. For many reasons, it seemed no one could make a film adaptation work, and even though Lynch eventually did make a movie, the same could be said for him.
