-a-a 1) Star Wars: A New Hope
-a-a-a-a-a Naturally, the movie that started it all is in first
-a-a-a-a-a place. 1977's Star Wars (which was later given the
-a-a-a-a-a subtitle Episode IV - A New Hope) has a stellar 94% RT
-a-a-a-a-a score. The main trio's undeniable chemistry, a great
-a-a-a-a-a performance by Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the
-a-a-a-a-a film's brilliant sci-fi action drew wide acclaim from
-a-a-a-a-a critics. Its special effects were groundbreaking at the
-a-a-a-a-a time, as was its stellar world-building, with George
-a-a-a-a-a Lucas able to transport viewers to a new galaxy like no
-a-a-a-a-a filmmaker before him. The Death Star trench run sequence
-a-a-a-a-a remains a highlight to this day, as it still thrills
-a-a-a-a-a fans new and old alike.

Although the first-place is deserved, their praise here sidesteps the
film's send-up of old movie serials, an aspect that ennobled its
corniness for the adult portion of its audience.
