Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Not only the greatest Star Wars film of all time, but the greatest film of all of time PERIOD.
I love this film.
Not only was this the first Star Wars film I ever saw in theaters, but it was one the first films I ever remember seeing in the theater period. I was only 4-years old when this film came out and I freaking loved it. I also can't name a better or more iconic score for a particular film than the score for this film. Me and my family use to own The Phantom Menace soundtrack on cassette tape and listen to it all the time back in like 1999-2001 and it gives such great nostalgia whenever I listen to the soundtrack now because it takes me to those wonderful days.
To me, The Phantom Menace is as great as Star Wars gets and will continue to remain the greatest that Star Wars will ever get as along as Disney continues to make the movies and we no longer have as big of a mastermind as George Lucas as the main driving force behind these films.
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Not only one of the most overrated Star Wars films, but one of the most overrated films of all time period.
Seriously. The Robot Chicken specials are much more entertaining to watch than this "Star Wars" film.
I just watched this film all the way through not to long ago and I was shocked at how boring and forgettable this episode was. I can't believe people still really think this film represents Star Wars at it's peak when The Phantom Menace exists. The only truly classic thing to come out of this film is The Imperial March is an iconic score and deserves all the praise it gets. But other than that? There is isn't anything that I can truly call great in this film.
I'm sure this film was amazing for it's time and me not even being alive in 1980 is probably one of the biggest reasons why I don't understand the so called "pure genius" of this film, but there is no doubt in my mind that it has greatly suffered the Seinfeld effect and is something you had to actually be around for understand what all the hype is about for this so called "excellent" and "amazing" sequel.
