Easily the Greatest movie of all-time

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 1999)

I can not imagine there will ever be anything like Star Wars again. Maybe other movie will make more money, or win more awards, but no movie will ever become such a part of our culture as Star Wars. It is hard to believe anything will inspire the kind of craze Star Wars has, and spawn the other industries the way this movie did.
As for the movie itself, I was too young to see it in 1977. But as a second generation fan, I must say that I cannot think of any greater experience I have had as a moviegoer, not even as I sat in the theatre waiting for a brand new Episode 1 to begin. There will never be another movie quite like "Star Wars", a movie that has truly become bigger than just what's on the screen.
It is hard to go further into superlatives in order to describe this movie, but even on the TV screen, there is nothing quite like seeing the quintessential archetypical story unfold, the amazing special effects, still impressive in this day and age. This movie is the ultimate movie experience. It is at the same time well-acted, visually enticing, and has an earnest, almost believable quality to it. Star Wars is the zenith of the movie industry.
