Vic,

I think you are missing the point about Lucas. Anyone who watches the Star Wars films and thinks that he can direct, clearly hasn't seen too many good films. Lucas is not even a good storyteller.

Star Wars pushed boundaries that others were afraid to push, in terms of visual effects, sound, animation, set design.

I agree that standards have fallen off of the chart and that we find moronic shit to be entertaining. Star Wars is nothing more than a Saturday morning cartoon with some cool characters and a lot of action and wonderful special effects. Take it for what it is...a cheap thrill.

However, as I said before, Star Wars opened a lot of eyes and in a good way.

Would you prefer that I don't seek out obscure foreign films and only watch the crap that Hollywood comes up with?

I think you also have to divide up films that are entertaining and those that are really above and beyond the norm.

Fine, I consider Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo to be some of my favorite films but that doesn't mean that one can't enjoy stuff like Slap Shot, Empire Strikes Back, Bridge on the River Kwai, Great Escape, Stalag 17,....

Movies being a form of art, has a few masterpieces and a lot of dreck. Unfortunately, dreck has been "in" for more than 30 years.
