And so my favourite film is really not terribly exciting. I'm clearly a child of my generation.
But Harrison Ford circa 1977.....
Yup, Star Wars. I could watch it over and over. I'm not a sci-fan, far, far from it (sorry, little Star Wars pun there). But it's got everything: an unassuming hero with an unknown past, an epic plot, a mission to save a world, a mentor, mercenary made good, scary bad guys, the little people up against a seemingly all-powerful force, and big hair. And Han Solo. I've seen it dozens and dozens of times.
My only advice is this. If you take part in a Star Wars drinking game, try to avoid having to drink on R2D2's lines. You'll probably pass out before you get to see Han.

hey we watched that this morning - brilliant!
oooh, me too!!!
I adore those films!
I was 18 when the first one came out and I stood in line 12 times to see it at the theater. I love it.
I could live in the land of the Ewoks and be perfectly happy. However the blodd thirsty Storm Troopers could put a damper on things.
You know, I just watched it properly for the first time recently. I may have seen it as a child, and some parts of it seemed familiar so I'm sure I must have, but until I watched it a few weeks ago, I really couldn't have even told you who Han Solo was, much less the plot. But I really enjoyed it then we went on and watched every single one of them - one a weekend. Even the prequels.
so now I know what you're talking about!
Heh, I'm a bit partial to Star Wars myself - the old ones though, not the new ones!!
Yes, I definitely DON'T have a bad feeling about this film. I like the old ones best too!!
