I guess I'll give my rankings:
1. Star Wars
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Return of the Jedi
4. The Force Awakens/Rogue One (tied)
5. Star Wars Holiday Special :shifty:
6. The Last Jedi
7. Revenge of the Sith/Attack of the Clones
8. The Phantom Menace

I used to have Empire in top place when I was a kid, now I prefer the first one.

Officially (someone is holding us accountable, right?), I go with Empire, but it's such a 1 and 1a thing. Star Wars is a self-contained masterpiece that launches a billion imaginations, while Empire amps up the human stakes and dashes the expected happy ending. Empire requires there be a third part, but you can't ask for a better one-two.

Very high in concept, very high in anticipation, and mostly disappointing in execution. The really dumb thing is that even knowing how mediocre it is, if I see it's on tv I get kinda excited and start watching.

For me it's John Candy. It seems like he gets funnier in all his movies the longer he's been gone.

You have to say that because you're Canadian. Isn't that the RCMP motto?

I lost my Canadian status card for not going into mourning over Gord Downie's death. And probably because I haven't watched any hockey in at least fifteen years.

Apart from Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern getting hit in the balls, he's the funniest part of Home Alone. And I didn't even realise his bits were supposed to be comedic as a kid.
