Well, I know I will catch hell for this, but the StarWars movies.
I feel that the first ones had the right ‘attitude’, but budget and other things held it back.
The ‘new ones’ have the ‘technology’ and ‘flair’, etc. but lack the charm and sincerity of the orignal three. Not to metion the expectations and retail empire they had to manage as well.
I think that the StarWars story, if retold right, and with a true dedication to the story being told, could be an epic.
Not like BSG, or StarTrek, because they are ‘set up’ to be ‘miniseries’ or TV shows, etc.
More like…
Well, honestly I can’t think of any movie like that… Think a long, but finite series of books… Maybe Harry Potter…
Get my point?
Anyway…
Yeah. I would pick StarWars.
