I would say the best - or at least most imaginative and presumptuous - version of Dune is the one we didn't actually get: The version by Alejandro Jodorowsky, in the 1970s. It was a grandiose project involving many artists and themes which went on to inspire, or feature in, films and comics and sculpture for years later (including, among other things, Alien). There was a documentary about it several years back, here's the trailer for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0cJNR8HEw0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0cJNR8HEw0
