The Best Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2001)

Simply the best movie ever--enough said. It is brilliant because there is no cheese, the humor is not forced, the action paces perfectly with dialogue, the musical score is superb, and it ends abruptly and surprisingly. No Death Stars, quirky alien creatures, or bad lines where added, which made for some of the most heartfelt and emotional scenes in the history of filmmaking. This is space opera as it was meant to be--where the fat that the film takes place in space is not the overriing theme, but rather a question of good and evil with complicated, graying, adult questions (Is Vader Luke's Father? Does Leia love Han? Is Lando a traitor? Are Ben and Yoda being truthful/helpful to Luke?) Watch this again and again and again.
