This is mine ...

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2002)

Everyone has his or her favorite movie. Sometimes, over the years, you forget why you actually named it "your favorite" at one point in your life, and you nurture it, defend it against evil-doers and just let it stay up there, up on the top of your best-list. "The Empire Strikes Back" is mine, my favorite movie. It might have its flaws but I don't even want to talk about them. Nor about its greatness. It just is.
Will it ever be de-throned? Well, competition has come and gone, and after seeing somewhere around 10 000 movies in my life, I'm still at the point where I say "no, there's no other". I still hope for a movie to top it. I hoped "The Fellowship of the Ring" would be that movie and although it's a 10/10-masterpiece, it doesn't come close to the timelessness of "The Empire Strikes Back". So I keep on waiting. Until then ... this is mine, my precioussssss ...
