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

I went to a screening of 'Inner Space' last year. The audience went nuts, Star Wars style nuts... I'd forgotten quite HOW how much fun the film was! The film's overall tone is alot goofier than SW but it's got the same sense of adventure and romance. It's got that 3-way romantic frisson like in ANH and in an echo of the OT, Quaid and Ryan end up together while Short discovers his true self.

Dennis Quaid would've made a great Han Solo if Harrison had been unavailable. The goodies are really great and the baddies are really bad, simple stuff really. Another Amblin Entertainment film, good god that studio was on fire in the '80s. The FX still look great too.
