3. Star Wars (1977)

Silent Running

You might think it’s a cliché to feature the first Star Wars movie on this list but the simple fact is, it’s a movie which everyone MUST see before they die.

Not that I really need to tell you, but A New Hope is an action packed film with so much going for it - awesome set designs, exciting action sequences, a dynamic medley of characters, an engaging storyline and impressive cinematography.

It's no wonder people instantly fell in love with the tale of a galaxy far away.

Most people know the story – a western set in space, in which Luke Skywalker must save the Galaxy from the Death Star, while also saving Princess Leia from Darth Vader. It is just as epic viewing it today as it was during its original cinematic release and will definitely stand the test of time.
