Its explicit aim was to provide a modern fairy storynfor a generation that had grown up without them."nnFilm/TV References:nnFlash Gordon (Stephani, 1936)nThe Adventures of Robin Hood (Curtiz/Keighley, 1938)nThe Dam Busters (Anderson, 1955)nThe Searchers (Ford,1956)nPaths of Glory (Kubrick, 1957)nThe Hidden Fortress (Kurosawa, 1958)n633 Squadron (Grauman, 1964)nElectronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB (Lucas, 1967)n2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968)nTHX 1138 (Lucas, 1971)nThe Godfather (Coppola, 1972)nAmerican Graffiti (Lucas, 1973)nChinatown (Polanski, 1974)nJaws (Spielberg, 1975)nStar Wars (Lucas, 1977)nApocalypse Now (Coppola, 1979)nStar Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Lucas,1980)nStar Wars: Return of the Jedi (Lucas, 1983)nTop Gun (Scott, 1986)nThe Last Temptation of Christ (Scorsese, 1988)nSaving Private Ryan (Spielberg, 1998)nThe Thin Red Line (Malick, 1998)nStar Wars: The Phantom Menace (Lucas, 1999)nStar Wars: Attack of the Clones (Lucas, 2002)nStar Wars: Revenge of the Sith (Lucas, 2005)nWars of the Worlds (Spielberg, 2005) Less
