It never called to me, really. I know that it has giant penis-worms and a heavyset pedophile villain whom even the original author admitted was comedically evil. Oh, and there's something about acquiring/controlling spice.

I have little doubt that the series was influential on some of the works that I enjoy though. Dune's sandworms might have been a direct inspiration on Beetlejuice's sandworms. And I'm pretty sure that there have been levels of video games I've played that have borrowed from Dune's imagery.
