If you were there in 77' then I envy you mate!
Just think that in december 77' ,in some places,Star Wars ,Close Encounters and Saturday Night Fever were all up on the big screen all at the same time!.
All of them ground breaking in one way or another but SW undoubtedly lead the pack.
Personally ,even though they are 2 completely different kinds of films, I feel SW kicks Annie Hall into touch.......but Annie Hall is still a great movie!
I forgot to mention A Spy Who Loved Me(probably the best Roger Moore Bond movie) as being another film that SW had to compete against.
Amazing to think that A Spy Who Loved Me probably cost twice as much to make as Star Wars.Yet Star Wars(the 77' version) makes A Spy Who Loved Me so dated by comparison.Especially if you watch them both now.
