The epic story about the dysfuctional Skywalker family.

Science fiction you can watch without neccessarily being a nerd.

One of the best things ever.

1970's ground breaking space epic later reduced to "Meesaa gonna die! Meesaa gonna die."

The best piece of fiction ever created by the human mind. It features the Galactic Empire, the ultimate utopian government. Rule through fear of force, countless uniform troops and star fighters, the most powerful star fleet in the history of the universe, the most organized and correct social structure, cruel and arrogant officers, absolute rule of the Emperor, and finally... the darkest, most militaristic anthem ever.... the Imperial March.

The fantastic fantasy saga about the tradgedy of Darth Vader.
The villian who's really the victim.
Made by George Lucas. If you don't know any more about them, I suggest you have a Star Wars marathon and watch them all. Each one is amazing in their own way.

George Lucas' cinematic tribute to the "Flash Gordon" serials he loved in his childhood. Packed with references to classic films, it became hugley popular in the late seventies/early eighties, spawning five sequels and a heretofore unprecendented mountain of merchandising. Its success helped to usher in a renewed focus on the teen audience with crowd-pleasing adventures, rather than the downbeat, European-influenced films of the late sixties/early seventies.
