How to watch David Lynch's Dune (1984) - is it available to stream?
As Dune: Part Two hits cinemas, where can one watch David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of Dune?
As Dune: Part Two finds financial and critical success, the film is not the first to adapt the second half of Frank Herbert's seminal novel Dune.
After an adaptation was in the offing for two decades, in 1984 the visionary director David Lynch delivered his adaptation of Dune.
Critically maligned and a box office bomb, Dune (1984) was not a success at all but since spawned a cult following.
As with all adaptations of the novel, the story follows young Paul Atreides (here played by Kyle MacLachlan) as he ascends to his destiny as the chosen one to save Arrakis from the villainous Baron Harkonnen.
