Star Wars (1977, George Lucas) Grade: A+As a parent, one of the big challenges is knowing when to let your kids make their own mistakes. For years they've been under the mistaken impression that "Revenge of the Sith" was the best Star Wars movie. On this point, my patience has been rewarded. They now report that "the one with the garbage masher" and the "frozen planet" one are the two best films. Good - I can start funding the college accounts again.
For me, Star Wars is a film so good, it gave me the mistaken impression that I was a sci fi fan for the better part of 2 decades.
