C'mon, DJ! Star Wars wasn't an 80's movie! <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> Sorry, couldn't resist. As a trilogy, the 70's - 80's were definitely my fave.
And I'd be lying if I said that my Star
Wars action figures weren't my most favorite toys. Who knew they'd be worth so much now. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

I realized my mistake after I wrote it. I didn't read the topic carefully. I was thinking favorites of all time. I would like to change my answer to Empire Strikes Back! Thanks for pointing that out Nolan!
