The only movie I've ever enjoyed after reading the book was Jurassic Park. I've never seen the Dune movies or most other book-based movies, but honestly The Martian and Project Hail Mary were tempting. I'll probably surrender to one of those two someday.
I feel like once they make a mega successful movie of a book we can stop doing the secret handshake.
OP refers to details from the book that are not in either film.

Especially when the movie is over forty years old.
I don't think 1984 dune was successful culturally or financially. Definitely a different beast from the recent attempt, which has been wildly popular.
