There were four
Nancy Drew movies made in the 1930's starring Bonita Granville which were highly rated. I haven't seen them so I can't agree or disagree. I intended to jump into this fray yesterday when it was still about
Dune but I got distracted. I enjoyed the David Lynch version when it came out but I had read the original trilogy at least twice by them. (Which was a requirement for having a clue what the movie was about.) The story is just too broad for a 2 and a half hour movie. The mini-series on SciFi was a better
medium for the story but of course it was still not perfect and didn't satify enough people. To me it proved the old Harkonnion adage: "
Dune is like pizza, when it's good, it's very good and when it's bad, it's still pretty good."
