The Last Starfighter (1984) - Pretty fun Star Wars knock-off. Special effects aren't very good at all, but they're an interesting novelty. B
The special effects were revolutionary. It was the first time a film attempted realism with CG (TRON doesn't really count). Doesn't hold up in the least but its place in cinematic history should be acknowledged.
I'm still waiting for my own toy Gunstar.
As a kid growing up in a trailer park in a jerkwater desert town, something about Last Starfighter really appealed to me.
Maybe it was because I loved The Music Man.
