Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (and all of its prequels and sequels)
It was released thirty years ago, yet I still hear people who say they have never seen it. It has the second highest domestic gross of all time (behind Titanic [shudders]) and has made over $460 million in its box office run, not to mention the money it has made worldwide and on vhs/dvd. Behind George Lucas, it put Industrial Light & Magic on the map and in this day and age, very few movies being made with any kind of special effects can say that they have not at least been influenced by what the ILM team has done. It was ranked #13 on AFI's latest top 100 movies of all time. It has one of the most famous and recognizable characters in Darth Vader and has the most famous cult character of all time in Boba Fett. Further, it now has two sequels, three prequels and has spawned countless books, direct to video movies, tv specials, etc. At this point, I am just dumbfounded that there are still people out there that have not seen this movie. If you are one of them, (1) please leave me a comment as to why you have not seen it and (2) GO SEE THE FRICKIN THING ALREADY.
