One word.

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2004)

Beware there is a possibility of Spoilers that follow! None better, although many have tried. It didn't win the Academy Award for Best Picture. So what, half the time the best film of each year doesn't even get recognized by the Academy. The other half, they're just playing off of trends. A New Hope is the rarest of films, one that stands the test of time, and one that no one could have predicted the success for. It spawned the greatest movie trilogy of all-time, yes, of all-time! It raised the bar on how films were made, packaged, and promoted. Very few times in history, does one film change the entire industry. The characters are easily relatable to yourself, and the themes that George Lucas deals with are deep and more in depth than they first appear. Take two hours and watch what a truly great film looks like.
