# I have no idea.
I feel I should state, before you try and explain it to me too much, I haven't actually seen Star Wars....

# Meh.
I wouldn't say that much, I have learnt most of the memes from Star Wars now, I just aint getting in on this particular geekfest myself ;)

# Geek fest aside
The Empire Strikes Back is an incredibly good film which stands up to comparison with many other good films. Even a new hope is good.

I semi agree though - there are certain things you know are good and have a place in the collective consciousness so much that you don't really feel the need to see/read/listen to them.

# Talking to some people,
they have said it isn't worth watching now, which is the way I feel. I think it is very much something you have to grow up with, rather than get into later on in life.

# fair point
it was exciting to me as a 12 year old boy, but I think if I was 12 now it wouldn't mean much to me.

# yes
... you might want to watch a new hope first -- but honestly I don't think it's essential.

# don't bother - you're better off seeing something else tbh
Terminator 1 is good for an 80's film but doesn't hold up to much now. T2 was more money but less good T3 was a yawn fest I have little hopes for T4.

# No,
I would just much rather watch a good film that I really enjoy than something that interests me in no way whatsoever.

# fair enough,mate
good point,some films people rave about are not particularly excellent.
(Fuckpig "That's not even a pound a midget.", Wed 19 Nov 2008, 11:37, archived)
# I am not saying it is shit or anything,
I obviously couldn't comment having not seen it.

But I would much rather spend a couple of hours watching these films:

www.imdb.com/title/tt0287467/
www.imdb.com/title/tt0441909/
www.imdb.com/title/tt0369702/
www.imdb.com/title/tt0125659/

I am a bit obsessed with Spanish cinema as you can see ;)

If you haven't seen any of those, do! They are all brilliant! And definitely watch the last one, Abre los ojos, which is the original Vanilla Sky. But don't let that put you off! It is fucking genius, and if I ever see Tom Cruise, I will punch him in the windpipe for ruining such a great film!

You have seen all of the afore mentioned films :D

# what the fuck did you do with your childhood?
well - Alien 1 is one of the better films ever made... Indiana Jones... well, they're good, but I wouldn't say they're essential viewing.

What films have you seen? You are aware that films exist and you can see them aren't you...?

What about The God Father? It's a Wonderful Life? Casablanca? Goodfellas..? The Prince's Bride?

# I have seen all of those films,
I just aint really a sci fi fan.

I love all of those films apart from The Godfather. The book was a hell of a lot better.

# In Family Guy,
Peter says he isn't a fan of The Godfather, he says that he feels it insists upon itself too much.

But it doesn't have TGTBATU's staring scenes

Literally half the film is just staring

But what staring

# It is very good
but my favourite western is The Bravados with Gregory Peck and Lee Van Cleef.

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is also good, with Kristofferson as Billy the Kid, James Coburn as Garrett, and Bob Dylan as a cheeky little knife-throwing rascal in the Kid's posse. Dylan also did the soundtrack.

# i've just never got round to seeing them
i have no great objection to them, i've just never had the opportunity to see any of them.

I think Star Wars has been on a few times, but it's never caught/held my attention.

# Goodfellas I would very strongly recommend.
Godfather, you would be better off reading the book.

The Bond films, I probably wouldn't watch either if I hadn't grown up watching them.
