I was at the age of 17 at that time.I took my little brother with me.He was at the age of 12 back then.
We were both highly impressed after watching this great movie.
It was the beginning of a new Era of SciFi  Movie

I'm going to watch it tonight on video, the ORIGINAL cinema version not the enhanced one 8-)

Now that

Stargate: seen the movie... which wasnt that bad at all. The Series have some really good episodes. If you watch closely, the Independence Day ships have the same flight characteristics as the original Death Glider.
Babylon 5: never seen it.
2001: now THAT was boring
Star Wars: i have ALL the DVDs (and the remastered versions in a special limited box version)

Thanks for the reminder, Mark...!

The ORIGINAL Star Wars... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

Nothing else has ever approached it in the realms of highly enjoyable, Sci-Fi, family entertainment... ...!

Paul...has the complete set on VHS tape...worth a re-run at any time on my tele'... ...!


P.S. ....I've always loved Princess Lea's sexy hair style.... ...!

Hmm,so thats what you think of beeing sexy?

Arni... who

I remember taking my father-in-law to see it.

I know some people think it's all for real but what's this doing in the History forum anyway?

A major piece of motion picture history and next year will be its 30th anniversary. So tis history
I was never really into any other sci-fi stuff. The original Star Trek was okay and 2001 was a good flick but most sci-fi depended more on special effects than say ohh script, story line, acting ability or anything worthwhile....

Careful Ozzy, that sort of thing could end up producing a Mini Mod two  :o or Return of the Mini Mod,  :-?

Actually it was less Star Wars and more my wife having to go on a 3 week course in Germany that led to the Mini-Mod. The hard life of young married couples
So tell me what is your excuse for your two crash-test hooligans Matt?

The first one, we had just moved house, it was winter, the heating had failed and the TV was dropped when being unloaded, nothing for it but to.........
The second one.............did not learn the lesson learnt the first time around However learnt a valuable lesson last week though.......hang up the car keys  :'(

Babylon 5: never seen it.

Then you have missed a real classic. Better than Trek, awesome show. Well all but the last season anyway.

[color=#003300]Saw original Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back on VHS;

I saw it seventeen times when the it came out in 1977.  I was seventeen at the time and it cost 75 cents to see a movie.  I have have the first three movies on VHS in three different sets and all six on DVD.  Yes I am a Star Wars Geek and proud of it!!

I also have an original Millennium Falcon toy from 1977 still in it's sealed box$$$
