In the top 10 greatest movies of all time hands down!

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2010)

This movie might have been the greatest movie of all time.
Think about it, it was the first movie ever to do so many things, or if not the first, the one that really trademarked the techniques. The other day I watched Avatar, and at the end, when the dragon-like creature flies off into the sunset, its wings formed an X and I said, "oh hey, they totally ripped that off star wars." The save-someone-by-flying-in-from-above from seemingly nowhere move came from Star Wars and the Millennium Falcon, the list is endless. The whole idea of "the force" has been re-manifested in so many ways, avatar being a recent example, again. The more I think about it, the more groundbreaking this movie was.
And I haven't even gotten to the special effects breakthroughs, which is what the movie was known for at the time. I'm not really an expert on that stuff but suffice to say Star Wars had the best special effects by far of any movie at the time it came out.
The Acting was terrific, and though the sequels were almost as astounding, they couldn't quite match the first one. A truly special film that every person should see before they die.
