For those that say Star Wars, I would be interested to know if it was before their time.
When you view it through today's lens it's average, because everything else sci-fi copied it or expanded on it,
Anyone who was around then can attest to how truly groundbreaking and just light years ahead of its time it was. It changed what was possible for action films, sci-fi, FX and even the cinematic score. It was in theaters for a full year. There really isn't a modern historical comparison.

It was beyond any Sci-Fi I could have imagined at the time.

Vader, in that menacing black costume, towering over everyone with a helmet based on a Nazi infantry helmet, with that respirator going and the voice of James Earl Jones telling tiny Leia "YOU ARE A REBEL SPY!!!" all against that white background on the hallways on the Tantive IV, and flanked by bright white Stormtroopers (another Nazi callback), all this immediately after that opening score and the episode description coming up the screen and going off into space…that was about as good a night as a young movie goer could experience.
