The Matrix really struck me as the true heir to the original Star Wars.  It has the same kind of character arc, it was wonderfully innovative with its special effects, and it sketched out a richly realized world without bogging the film down with expository dialogue.  If the sequels hadn't screwed the pooch so badly, that film series could have been the new OT.
