This is a silly question that’s gonna get a thousand different answers but I do spend some time thinking about it.
This presumes the film was made for it, but I always come back to Thin Red Line (though any Malick would be welcomed). Would like to see what David Lean would have done as well.
Bill has said many times that he thinks people have a special affinity to films that came out when they were of middle school age.
I absolutely agree with it.
Granted, I’m roughly his age and the “it was always on HBO” thing definitely plays a part. But I do think there is something there. For instance, I’ve got a disproportional fondness for mid-at-best movies like Flash Gordon and Valley Girl as well as era classics like Blade Runner and Alien.
You?
I have a hard time not giving it a 5 even though I only gave it 3.5 when I watched it at home.
My god does format matter.
Tom Hardy’s plane coasting silently over the shoreline was magical.
Crowd was fantastic. Blessed to have that theater.

Was that the Panasonic player that Sean referenced recently?
I’ll scrub through the ep if I have to but thought I’d take a stab here.
…then he starred in Bob Boblaw’s 1973 TV film Robots in Munchkinland. Boblaw, of course, was know for his work as editor in the 1969 Chevy Cordova commercials. This is a terrible film that no one saw and is an automatic red, but let’s talk about it
You gotta have donkey brains to not have Empire and New Hope as your top 2… right? But what be your number 3?
I haven’t seen Andor s2 yet so I can’t opine about that (if we are allowing TV) and Return of The Jedi seemed way too goofy to me when I saw it in the theater (old like Bill), so it’s Rogue One for me.
Found Sean’s criticism that all the characters were cookie cutter tropes… as opposed to the tropes found in New Hope… to be very unconvincing.
Thots?
