but you're a bit off on 2001. The scope of the story, the cinematography, the humor, the mystery (is it really a 500# slab of Afghani hash?), and the special effects tour de force ending...c'mon. It's in another dimension from the other films. Except, perhaps, Clockwork Orange. Hint: Kubrick rules, in my dimension.
I liked many of your selections, but couldn't suspend my disbelief because of the poor special effects. That's excusable in early movies, but Star Wars? Very disappointing stuff. If 2001 had never been made, ok. Anyhow, SW has always seemed rather juvenile to me. Those silly creatures. The black and white, good and bad. Ho hum.
