Some great picks. I always introduce people to Buckaroo Banzai if they haven't seen it. Love that end theme. :)

I just rewatched several Dune movies. IDK if you've seen the latest release with Clement. It's a decent watch, enough so that I'll watch part 2 when it comes out. I love the sci-fi mini-series though.. "Frank Herbert's Dune" and "Children of Dune" they did.
