Love-Hounds: Funny Movies

About the wierd movies -- I'd like to give a '5' to David Lynch's DUNE,
which I'd describe as follows:

David Lynch indulges many of his obsessions at with the resources of Dino
"90-Foot King Kong Doll" DeLaurentiis.  Sets lavish and wonderful, the whole
effect is to make you very uncomfortable as you watch, by exposing you to
deeply disquieting images.  Because there had to be an excuse to get this
huge budget, an apparently bored Lynch inserts clips from the film of the
Reader's Digest Condensed DUNE.  Plot events totally uninteresting, as are
the good guys and Sting.  But the Bad Guys are magnificent!
