It's been awhile, I know, but between going to California for work, going to New York with friends, and nearly getting The Pneumonia, I haven't had much of a July. Also, this is my summer, so keeping up be damned. However, thanks to the TCFF (Traverse City Film Festival), I have had the opportunity to catch up quite a bit. Here is the Reader's Digest version of the I've seen so far at the festival:
#157 - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
The best of all the Star Wars movies (if you discount the Wellesian Attack of the Clones) has the best plot (come on, we all know that Vader is Luke's father, but it was a big deal back in 1980), introduces the bad ass Yoda (and Lando Calrissian, too, I guess) and has the coolest, hope-filled ending. This movie will remain in my top 10 of all time probably forever. It also brings back fond memories of spending time with my mom, because she let me stay up and finish it when it was on TV back in the day (on a school night, no less!)
Score: 10/10
P.S. I've decided to make each one a separate entry so I can keep my stats (scores and years released) in order.
