Far ahead of it's time!

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2001)

When you think of movies that transcended time you think of "Guess who's Coming To Dinner", or "2001: A Space Odyssey". Star Wars fits this bill to a T. Nothing like Star Wars, with the exception of maybe "2001: A Space Odyssey", had ever been seen up to that point. This movie has influenced more pop culture then any movie up to that time (with the possible exception of "Planet of the Apes"). To have any movie influence a new set of movies (or prequels), is unheard of in movie making. It really says something to see Star Wars more popular now then when it was at it's height in the late seventies and early eighties.
An age-old, myth-like story, in a setting that had never really been explored in movie making. If you are impressed with the space movies of today, see the one that started the space movie genre.
Plus this gave Harrison Ford (Han Solo), his first real big break. What move needs to be said? If this isn't a classic tell me what is!
