The best movie of 1977

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2014)

George Lucas' 1977 science fiction epic Star Wars was a great film that I consider to be a masterpiece that is also one of the best movies ever made. The movie tells the story about Luke Skywalker (played by Mark Hamill) who joins forces with the Jedi, a cocky pilot, and a wookie to help save the world. This was a groundbreaking achievement for it's time and it still is. Writer- director George Lucas really knows science fiction just like a few other directors like Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, and James Cameron, and Stanley Kubrick who crafted masterpieces like Alien, E.T., Avatar, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Lucas uses a great cast for this movie besides Hamill which includes Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, David Prowse, and Alec Guinness. Not only that but it was a film that deserved all of the Oscars that it was nominated including Best picture and best director for Lucas.
