    Fair point.

    You could actually improve Gone with the Wind and shorten its runtime by deleting every line of dialog from Ashley or Melanie.

      I haven’t seen more than 5 minutes of a Star Wars Film in over 30 years so I rented a flick called the Force Awakens... it was actually a good movie! So I started in on “Rogue One”... meh. I might finish it when I retire.
      Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

            Ironic that on a day when the media kept hammering us over the head with how safe and formulaic Disney is they debut the most ambitious and risk-taking Star Wars film yet.

                Nah they're important to the plot. Just have Rhett leave Scarlet before their daughter is born; she has no purpose but to live and die young.

                          Maybe it's just my age, but people hate on RotJ too much. It's still a solid B. And watching RotS last week it gets too much credit. Yes it's better than TPM and AotC, but that means it's a D rather than an F; it's still two hours of green screens and stilted dialogue.

                            1 Word. Ewoks. Dumbest concept ever. I love the way the new series handles this issue in The Last Jedi.

                              Ewoks aren't the high point of the film but they don't detract from it that much. They're not even there for the first half of the film (or however long the Jabba stuff is).

                                I did not like the ending of Return of the Sith at all. Obi-wan gives a dying Anakin a stern lecture and then leaves him alive? When we re-watch that movie we actually stop it right before that point and pretend that there is a tectonic shift in the ground or something that separates Obi-wan from Anakin. To be consistent with the character seen throughout the rest of the movies, Obi-wan would have killed Anakin while he was lying there helpless, not just walk away...which of course would have made IV-VI impossible...so Obi-wan and Anakin needed to be separated by the shifting ground first instead.

                                I thought Attack of the Clowns was the worst of the bunch, except for Obi-wan's visit to Pamino there was no point to that movie at all. F- for me for that one.

                                I guess I'm in a minority in giving The Phantom Menace a C-; I think people's revulsion over Jar-Jar Binks masked a great villain in Darth Maul and some other fine touches. I actually thought it was the best of I-III though that isn't saying much since all three of them were so lame.

                                So for me I guess it would be:

                                IV: A
                                V: A
                                VI: B
                                I: C-
                                II: F-
                                III: D+ (Mace Windu was a great character though)
                                VIII: B-
