Based on Frank Herbert's epic novel "Dune" (1984), is a classic sci-fi movie not to be missed and is available on Amazon Prime.

From MediaWiki: In the year 10191, a spice called melange is the most valuable substance known in the universe, and its only source is the desert planet Arrakis (Dune).

A royal decree awards Arrakis to Duke Leto Atreides and ousts his bitter enemies, the Harkonnens. However, when the Harkonnens violently seize back their fiefdom, it is up to Paul, Leto's son, to lead the Fremen, the natives of Arrakis, in a battle for control of the planet and its spice.

I saw the movie and then the sci-fi channels version. While they were both good, I then read the book and that was incredible. Highly recommend the book.  8)

Agreed. The book was quite good.

The Seeker

Dune was an awesome novel, and unfortunately the movie makers just can't seem to due justice to a large number of novels turned into movies; Dune was one, and an even more glaring example is the Robert Heinlein novel "Starship troopers".

The book was excellent, the movie version sucked toenails...

A Novel I would like to see movitized is "Ringworld"

This is more of what they called Sci-Fi Drama. My favorite scene of any movie ever when it comes to ET. K-PAX Planetarium scene.

Well are we talking about 'movies' or 'tv series'?
The link is to the Tv Series starring Rock Hudson.

My favorite 'movie' is 'Forbidden Planet', followed closely by 'The Thing' (the original)

hell yeah Sarge "Forbidden Planet...the John Carpenter version of the The Thing  is good also .
When you die you will find out that John Lear was right..........Hoss
