Eh, so so. Much was jawdropping and awesome, but deliver me from gratuitous tedious droids.

Indisputably one of the most beautiful and romantic but quirky films of the seventies. A young man obsessed with death and an older woman bent on living life to its fullest, find each other and start an unlikely romance.
I must be getting old. I'm amazed at how young Ruth Gordon looks.

I dunno. I wasn't even born when Star Wars was released. I didn't even become conscious of it's existence until Jedi came out and I was 6. I didn't really grasp the whole trilogy thing and grasp the concept of the difference between the pre-Star Wars movie landscape and post until I was well into my teens...and I still considered it a great movie, well removed from its place and time.

Harold and Maude, hell yes. Everything else, possibly.

I'm always up for a SW viewing. Always. :)





Restrained myself from referring to it as "ANH" for iSm

I hear you Snowflake. I'm trying to make the best of my time during the short interval where GD is out of diapers, and I'm not in them.

I never really thought of myself as that much older than GD till now....

Somehow the thought that I saw SW in first run in the theatre, was a card holding member of the SW fan club, before they folded the first time, and was a HUGE SW geek for the first three films......

Makes me feel ancient.
Even though there are a few around who know that I wasnt exactly a grown up at the time.

I'm old for my age.

No need. The 30th Anniversary of that title won't be until 2012.
