My Favorite Movies -- Star Wars (1977)


Ok, I really shouldn't have to explain this, so instead I'll just give some context. When Star Wars was first released I was 12. 12 year-old-boy meets Star Wars... and love ensues. I saw it in the theater on its original run 7 times. There is no need to discuss all of the great scenes in Star Wars, you've all seen it. I will, however, commend the original Star Wars lack of CGI and lack of shiny new spaceships and the lack of a bloated George Lucas with no creative spark and finally a lack of "a new hope."

Oh, and the original star wars has freaking Peter Cushing. Note, Peter Cushing was always cooler than Christopher Lee (Wicker Man excluded).
