Dune: 3-hour Extended Edition
This special version of "Dune" is the Alan Smithee cut - a three hour ressembling of the film prepared for airing on television. David Lynch had his dirrectorial credit removed from this version, primarily due to his objection to the specially created prologue which attempts to spell out the convoluted twists and turns of what many describe as being an unfilmable plot. Despite Lynch's objections, this version is actually clearer than the original cinema edit, which was notoriously trimmed almost o the point of incomprehension by Hollywood executives determined to make it a more "commercial" duration.
