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

     Actually, I think that if someone in Hollywood wants to produce and finance THE FIGHTING TEA PARTIERS OF IRAQ because everyone NEEDS to understand the heroism and plight of white male small businessmen taken from reserves and hurled into combat, he should go right ahead. I'm just a little concerned that the SW universe would descend into that sort of thing. It's not necessary. The Damsel In Distress/Distressing Damsel architype of the 30's and early 40's provided a strong and positive character profile for Leia. There are ways to handle these things with some subtle PC. No need to club people over the head. I hope SW will remain true to what it is.
