Zardoz
Why this pick
A boldly stylized, cryptic future myth with extravagant costumes, ritualistic power structures, and the same willingness to be mystifying rather than tidy.
03
The Final Programme
Why this pick
This surreal, baroque science-fiction fever dream shares Dune’s heightened artifice, eccentric characters, and fascination with transformation, prophecy, and decadent old powers.
04
The Holy Mountain
Why this pick
For Dune’s visionary symbolism and overwhelming design: an audacious mystical quest rendered through elaborate tableaux, grotesque satire, and dreamlike logic.
05
The Visitor
Why this pick
Its bizarre collision of cosmic forces, occult portent, and conspicuously artificial imagery suits the cult, disorienting appeal of Lynch’s Dune.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In the distant future, the known universe is ruled by Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV. The most important substance in the empire is the drug known as melange or "the spice". It has many special properties, such as extending life and expanding consciousness. The most profitable and important of its properties is its ability to assist the Spacing Guild with Fold space, which allows safe, instantaneous interstellar travel.
