I am a big fan of the Dune book series, so yes I have read Dune. I do not think the sequels top the original, but they do continue the saga and quite well. The prequel novels that have lately been produced by Herbert's son Brian Herbert however is another story. They are sort of fun science fiction and I do read them, but they can not match the majesty of Dune.

I like the David Lynch movie, in a way it captures the mood of Dune very well, and Frank Herbert himself was in on the creation process and sanctioned allot of the special effects, like the navigator puppet. However I think he when a bit overboard with the Harkonens, well are they evil but why are they slaughtering cows in a hallways?
