Whatever you think of the 1984 "Dune" overall (especially the fatal narrative mistake of trying to cram the whole story into one film), you have to appreciate it for the visuals alone, as this is the one time David Lynch got to show off his creative vision with a blockbuster budget. And nowhere is that more evident than in the early scene where the Spacing Guild navigator arrives to scheme and exposition dump with Jose Ferrer's Emperor Shaddam. I don't envy the upcoming "Dune Messiah" trying to show a Guild navigator, because you're simply not going to top this massive slug thing that looks like a giant fetus that somehow survived an abortion and travels around in what is essentially a massive opium/LSD tank with a bunch of bald Devo wannabes attending it (with a couple having to clean up the slime left in its wake). And then this thing speaks in a calm, authoritative voice and you realize that it's not only intelligent and speaking with the supposed most powerful man in the film, but it's giving orders to HIM. (Ferrer plays it perfectly in this scene as he's got the dazed look and attitude of, "I can't believe I'm having a civil conversation with something whose mouth looks like a literal butthole.") Once you see something like that, you're prepared for all the bizarre Lynchian visuals to come (like everything involved the Harkonnens), because you're not going to get stranger than that sequence. And it's such a strong visual that you don't even mind what a clumsy exposition dump the whole conversation is (you half-expect it to end with Rick Moranis popping up to ask if everybody got it). Sums up Lynch's "Dune" nicely; the visuals alone make it worth the watch, because you won't see anything like them anywhere else.
