Star Wars
(aka Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope)
Well, what can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said? If you are living under a rock and have not yet seen Star Wars...It is the story of a young farm boy named Luke Skywalker, who lives on a remote and barren planet with his aunt and uncle, having been orphaned at a young age. He yearns for adventure but lives a life of tiresome routine. That is, until he accidentally intercepts a message intended for his neighbor, Ben Kenobi, a man who has been trained (it is said) in the mystic arts of the Jedi Knights, and is thrust into a war that will determine the destiny of the entire galaxy, and which has much more to do with him than he could possibly guess.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite movies of all time, if not my favorite. There is very little about it that I do not consider perfect. The rich unfolding mythology and strange cast of characters that populate the 'galaxy far, far away'. The perfection of every shot. The moments of pain and wonder. When Luke "has taken his first step into a larger world". The epic soundtrack by John Williams. The way that watching Star Wars, I always feel drawn into this world, feel as if I have become a part of it.
