If you're a fan of the original story, check out the SciFi Channel's
miniseries "Frank Herbert's Dune" and "Frank Herbert's Children of
Dune":

Both were done by people who really understood and loved the "Dune",
"Dune Messiah", and "Children of Dune" books. They're available on DVD
at Amazon. I have both and usually rewatch them once a year.

Lynch's "Dune" movie turned me off too, especially the first time I
watched it. I mean, after 90 minutes he only makes it as far as page
150 or so of the novel and has to compress the remainder into 46
minutes? Apparently it wasn't all his fault however:
