David McK (3721 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) in Movies

Most people pick Episode V, Empire Strike back as their favourite Star Wars movie.

While it is a close call, for me, the original *just* pips it to the post.

This is the movie that re-defined science fiction, with a young Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher all being launched to superstardom on its back (Ford in particular), and that is - as has oft been said - in many ways a modern fairy-tale, taking its form and structure from such.

It's also the movie that introduces the iconic Darth Vader, X-Wings and TIE fighters, with the final assault on the first Death Star one of the best action scenes in any movie I have ever seen, period.
