No. 3 - Star Wars TrilogyMy third best movie ever is none other than the Star Wars Trilogy Episodes IV - VI (okay, it's 3 movies instead of 1, but the story is not complete without one of the other). They are
A New Hope,
The Empire Strikes Back and
Return of the Jedi. I was too young to watch A New Hope when it's released in the cinema, but I can still remember the time when my father brought me and my kid brother to watch The Empire Strikes Back in the early 80's. It was my first ever cinematic experience, and the memory lasts until now. To say that I was brought up feeding on the everything Star Wars might be an overstatement, but it's my staple diet (so much so that my hobby in Lego was very much centred on Star Wars sets). In short, whenever I watched SW now, it would bring me back to the happy days of my childhood, and it's kinda stuck with me thus making it very much part of my life. And I still watch them once in a blue moon, this time with my kids instead.

The first ever appearance of Vader, voted the baddest villain on the silver screen
Millenium Falcon - the fastest ship in the galaxy. It's my dream ship, until now.
Han Solo. I grew up wanting to be Han Solo - his couldn't care less attitude, a rogue hero, own the fastest ship in the galaxy, and of course, he got the girl!
Solo with his best friend - a dog ... I mean Chewbacca.
Solo with Skywalker and Leia. Even though Luke was the jedi knight, I was more attached to Solo. I guess Luke is more like the unsung hero.
Well, what can I say. As a kid then, please forgive me for saying that this
was my sex symbol at the time. With an outfit like that, who could blame me! Ohh my ...
I guess this is why I want to be Han Solo ...
I thought Vader was joking when he said to Luke ... "I'm your father ...". What the ...!
The iconic X-Wing - the next best ship after the MF
