I don't think that liking Star Wars should be kept secret. I LOVE them! I've seen all of them in theatres, minus the Clone Wars animated one. The original ones I watched when I was in Elementary school actually, the digitally remastered.
My dad actually has two of the originals on LaserDisk and he has a pinball machine from the early 80's of the first 3 movies.
Totally don't have to hide a love of Star Wars.

I agree YourEyes...I don't think many people who were a kid in the 80's disliked Star Wars. My hesitation was always that Star Wars is kind of an entity in itself...too many fans and lots of tribute sites...wouldn't want our presious 80's site being overshadowed by this "Giant"....kinda stands on its own. For the official record...I love love love Star Wars! I'd love to have the pinball machine!

When it comes to pinball...I have always wanted the Flash Gordon pinball machine.
I also love "It's a Wonderful Life"...I had never seen it until about 6 years ago...when I watched it for the first time...I thought how did I manage to make it through life that far without ever having seen that movie. Now I have to watch it every Christmas.

Yeah I think that Star Wars could take over this site and that would be bad news bears. And with the pinball machine, it's UBER fun! Minus the fact that my dad has every single high score on the thing. But I'm better at that one than the other one we have, The Machine Bride Of Pinbot.

This is one movie that really disappointed me - it could and should have been so much more than it was, and the ending is so saccharine that I feel ill from consuming so much in one go......
But still - moving on up:
Top 80s movies:
1. Some Kind Of Wonderful (natch) 2. The Sure Thing 3. Romancing The Stone
Top Guilty Pleasures:
1. You've Got Mail 2. When Harry Met Sally 3. NOT Sleepless In Seattle - that has all the charm of the other two, but none of the humour, which raises the others out of the ordinary.
Top Animated Features
1. Flushed Away 2. Monsters Inc. 3. Shrek (the first one)
Top Action Movies
1. Die Hard 2. ..... 3. ..... (imo Die Hard doesn't really have an equal to add to the list.....)
Other lists to follow........ !

SIS is all 'oh my dad's so lonely, oh I'll be cute and set him up, oh you're a nice lady, oh, the Empire State at night, oh, the happy ending'. It doesn't cut it like the hidden / unknown identity clashes in You've Got Mail, or the multiple 'accidental' meetings and inevitability of the two central characters in WHMS.
It's still a great film, but it's more full of pathos than full of laughter.
