But, Empire Strikes Back...?

I totally agree, but ESB was sick good.

I guess it leaves you unresolved, however.

I've to agree. Although I love me some New Hope, IV<V.

ESB also had the advantage of Gary Kurtz and Irvin Kershner, plus a ton of other people, telling Lucas what he was doing wrong.

Look, I saw the original six times the first day at the Tiger Town theater in Baton Rouge. Age, what, 12? Missed work. Worried my grandparents. Was starving as I had no money and it was pre-ATM and I didn't have a checking account. And if there had been a seventh show, I'd have watched that one too.

What beats that?

PS - Ok, Blade Runner. But otherwise?

And... I concede to the man that watched Episode IV six times on opening day.

Good day, Sir!

Remember back then? I have no idea how old you are, but in 1977 we were watching, for jebus's sake, Saturday Night Fever, Oh God, Annie Hall, Goodbye Girl and Close Encounters.

Blew. Them. Away.

PS - Midway in Surround Sound anyone?

I was 2.

I think the first movie that blew me away was E.T., at age 4.
