What single (Non-SW) movie from the last 30 odd years has come closest to the spirit of Star Wars?... and why?

^Thanks SilverWook. THIS is why I started this thread, to hear about things I've missed that might have a wee SW buzz about them.

I never got round to 'Titan A.E.', all I knew was that it bombed in spectacular fashion, but just watched the HD trailer on YouTube. It looks great and is crying out for a BR as you say. I'm almost unsure if I should watch it in SD lol (Edit: It's been on TV in HD, I wonder if I can find it...).

On a similar note, I watched another animated box-office-bomb, Disney's 'Treasure Planet' on Netflix HD for the first time the other week. That is a stunning Steam-Punk/SF world full of SW thrills with a central kid who has no father tripping off on an adventure across the galaxy.

I'm a big B5 fan. 'In The Beginning' was a great feature length TV movie from that show. Great characters and big ass space battles deciding the fate of earth, pure SW fun. Shame half the cast have since died from the B5 curse :(

Just remembered the EXACT reason I never watched 'Titan A.E.'. It was because this was a terrible, terrible poster...

...yuk! Back in those days you couldn't so easily just click on YouTube and watch a trailer. Poster art mattered!
