Made me get into computers

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2001)

Other things have been said about this film, so i wont go into the details of the plot or characters or special FX or whatever. What i want to add is the human element.
In particular, the effect this film had on me when i was seven years old, watching this film in 1977 when it came out. It completely changed my life. After it i wanted to find out more about science, astronomy, computers - i wanted to find out more about technology
And as a result, 20 or so years on, i'm now a programmer , designing Web apps for a living. All thanks to that Death Star sequence with the flashing groovy 70s computer graphics at the end of the film.
George Lucas - if i ever meet you, i'm gonna shake your hand. The fact that i have my house, my job and a happy wife is down to me as a 7 year old watching that film.

This isnt just a film - this is a part of 20th century history.
