Wow Polux I thought reading the title that it was to celebrate 30 years of marriage.

But in reading I found it was much more important news

Other than Disney films ( Bambi, Jungle Book) I only ever went to see sci-fi films as a kid.

The opening scene of Star Wars is one that always gives me goosebumps!

btw Alan, it was always episode IV 'A New Hope' ... that was one of the things that provoked interest. Actually in the States it provoked controversy because audiences complained they hadn't seen films I - III!

So many favourites;

Blade Runner, Star Wars, Close Encounters, the first X I ever saw "The Thing" (John Carpenters version) and Alien

And on the TV: Star Trek, Blake's 7, for more modern TV you have to add in Farscape, Babylon 5 and Firefly.

Now Patrick I'm afraid you are wrong here , the 1977 release of star wars had no episode number nor title , I know because I saw it when it first came out and I have the original on DVD and it just has Star Wars right at the bigging

Just taken this off the TV of the opening credit of the 1977 theatrical release of Star Wars View attachment 93709

I actually prefer this version to all the other remastered versions he did as it reminds me of how excited I was about it :D

How could I forget "Princess Bride".

Somewhere on the internet is a thread from someone who did a brilliant model of the cliff top duel scene, but I can't find the link again.

Adrian have you ever seen fringe ? I like a lot of sci fi but just lately ive been into more intelligent stuff and fringe has got to be amongst the most intelligent stuff I've seen it really is good I think

 

[Alan 45]

I forgot one , the life of Brian :D

 

[dave]

Yep! Really there is a model of this scene???!! :eek:I'm wishing to see it :rolleyes:

There is but my google-fu has failed me, all I can find is a more recent thread by some guys who have done various scenes from the film in Lego.

I never saw the remake of V, but I watched the original series.

The other series as a young child were the Saturday morning repeats of 'Flash Gordon' (the original black and white version)

Wot ! about Lassie Come Home.

You may laugh but at the age of 5 in 1943 my Grandmother took me to see this film. The first time in a cinema the first film I ever viewed (no TV and even if my Gran had had one BBC TV Service was closed for the war).

We got there early and sat in the cinema my Gran and me. I had been primed about what I was going to experience. But all I could see were these enormous curtains. The music started playing. This was to much not what I had been promised. So I started to cry as I was disappointed. But that disappointment turned to an experience boys and girls of my age will never ever forget. It was just magic a story in real life with moving people on this monster screen in fact larger than life.

All in technicolour. All in real acting including the Collie. Starring Roddy McDowall and Elizabeth Taylor. Nominated for an Oscar.

I watched this film while evacuated during the war. To Kingston Upon Hull from London to escape Hitler's Doodlebugs. They then, the V1 that is, followed me to Hull.

I can in my mind's eye visualize the Cinema, The Royal. Now a Supermarket last time I saw it.

Lassie Come Home lived with me as 5 year old and as a memory. Think of that the first film I ever saw during a war 300 miles from home with my mum and sister but not my dad he was away. Just think of that your first film ever. Bazaar but the world was still the milkman selling milk from an churn in the street. Bananas Ice Cream and Oranges unknown. And all this with Hitler dropping this stuff around the place.
