> For example, when he discusses the latest Dune with Lawrence of Arabia - both acclaimed movies.

But Dune is barely out for a few months - it's a blockbuster, for sure, with enormous production budget, lots of public interest, etc. But so was Jurassic World, the Star Wars sequels or the Hobbit trilogy. Whether Dune will become an all-time classic like Laurence of Arabia remains to be seen.

Maybe a fairer comparison would be something like Lord of the Rings vs Dragonheart or Conan the Barbarian or whatever else iconic fantasy movie there was before the CGI era?

Or for Scifi, maybe the old Star Trek movies vs Avatar? (Blue cat people, not the other Avatar)

Or Star Trek TOS vs Deep Space Nine vs Discovery.
