Kimp, you were a toddler when Star Wars came out. You don't have to see a film the year it is released to appreciate it's true beauty. :mad:

So someone likes Back to the Future better than Star Wars. Big Whoop. I like them both though the original Star Wars trilogy is far superior and arguably the greatest trilogy of all time. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and if someone wants to take Marty McFly and Doc Brown over Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan, let 'em. That's one less person to have to fight for SW merch, dyaknowwhatImean?

I do Ryan,show's our age also,doyathink,LOL.:smirk: I like both trilogies too,they do have their differences,which is a good thing.Hopefully,Sith will be more memorable to me,then the other ones.Having a photographic mind,usually only takes on watching to get a movie,two at the most.Can't remember that much of the new SW flicks except for: a pod race,Yoda's awesome fight scene in II,Jar Jar.That's about it,the rest is a blur.

So far, I thought episodes 1 and 2 were complete duds to the original 3. At first I never liked Empire Strikes Back. But now I do and love that it's a darker version to episode 4. I also liked episode 6 and the Ewoks although a lot of Star Wars fans don't. I grew up watching the two Ewok films so that maybe why I like the Ewoks.

The best trilogy ever by far Is the Godfather triolgy. I sm sorry but Im just had to say that. I dont know if Star Wars can hold up as long as I think the Godfather will hold up.

Well, since my dad was in town we decided to go see Kicking and Screaming, the new movie with Will Farrel. It was okay, some of the parts were funny and then some parts were so so. But I did like Mike Ditka and thought he was the best in the movie. But this movie would be probably better to rent on dvd then to pay XXX amount of dollars at the theater.

2 out of 4 stars

I saw Unleashed this weekend along with Guess Who(I was suppose to see Crash, I don't want talk about it :frown: ) Unleashed was awesome, good story and great action. Guess Who threw some obvious punches I like Bernie Mac it had some heart felt moments. What made Unleashed work so well were the characters and the dept of it all, I give Unleashed 8/10 and Guess Who 6/10

My dad and I were deciding about seeing Unleashed. It was either that or Kicking and Screaming. Unleashed would have not started for another 45 minutes and it would have been a 15 minute wait for Kicking and Svreaming, so we got tickets for that movie. Looks like we should have seen Unleashed instead. I'll check it out next week for sure

Another Godfather fan,way cool.I didn't like 3 though,should have been entirely different then it was.Best was to see Godfather I & II is to find Godfather Saga,both movies together in chron. order(don't think it's on video though,only watched it on tv).Another great trilogy,lest not forget is Indiana Jones(Temple was weak in some spots). Has anyone bought their SW tickets already?

Return of the Jedi is my favorite, and part of the reason is the Ewoks. Whatever problem people have with Ewoks, it can't hold a candle to the problem they should have with Jar-Jar's people and their slobbering leader.

Like you, I also did not like Empire Strikes Back at first. It took a while for it to grow on me. As a kid, the good guy always had to win in order for me to enjoy the flick. When I played with my toys, the good guys always won; especially after facing a certain death and destruction by their adversaries. As I got older, I realized that Empire was simply the chapter that portrayed the Alliance facing certain death and destruction but would lead to ultimate victory. Plus, the announcement that Darth Vader is Luke's father is pretty monumental.
