I looked for an ESB appreciation thread and I couldn't find it. And I was watching ESB today and was compelled to make this.
Empire Strikes Back is THE best Star Wars movie, period.
We have Imperial Walkers being brought down by tow cables!
We have Liea being a total whore and hooking up with both Luke and Han!
We have the training on Dagobah!
We have Vader pwning an Imperial Officer over a vid screen!
We have Yoda's philosophical ramblings on the Force (Do or do not, *****)!
We have the Dark Side Cave!
We have Cloud fcuking City!
We have, for the first, and sadly last time, C-3PO shutting the fcuk up!
We have Han Solo being frozen into a ornament (one which we all wish we had)!
We have the baddest lightsaber battle in the OT!
We have the one second that will forever change the way Luke Skywalker masturbates!
We have THE revelation in movie history, "Luke, I am your father."
We have Mark Hammil turning into a chipmunk after aforementioned revelation!
We have Luke hanging onto the antenna looking thing with one hand (beastly)!
Oh yea, how could I forget the best thing about it.
TAUN-TAUNS!!!
Post your love for ESB here.
I guess you can post your hate for it too, if that's possible.

ESB's romantic scenes were NOTHING compared to the class act of Natalie Portman's and Hayden Christenson's scenes in AOTC or ROTS. Oscar worthy performances man, Ford and Fisher got nothin' on those Bogart and Bergman's of SW. AOTC all the way!
ROTS was cooler, with more action and explosions, so it's better than ESB.
ESB's acting was excellent, it had a terrific blend of humor, action, drama, romance (all performed flawlessly), so obviously it BLOWS! WOOT!!! ROTS's wooden and obviously scripted acting and overused CGI trumps ESB anyday! WOOT!
Yup, I think I'm set to win the debate of the century.

You make it sound like we're haveing kinky buttsecks.
TPM-ESB all have a certain base level of likability to them. The only movie I really don't like is ROTJ. That being said, my favorite fluctuates from time to time.

its the one that gets watched the most in our house
with Jedi second............underated and due praise in the light of the PT
ANH third
ROTS fourth
and TPM for the nostalgia factor of the buzz leading up to it comes in at fifth
AOTC just sits there gathering dust with The Planet of the Apes remake in the naughty corner of my DVD collection
I'm most likely to fall asleep while watching AOTC than any of the other. It lacks depth from when Anakin and Padame walk on the refugee transport to when Anakin owns the Sand People.

I love AOTC...but it's a terrible example of moviemaking.
As a movie, it has as much depth and makes as much sense as watching a DVD of all of Bjork's music videos and trying to get a movie out of it...but they're both just as beautiful to watch.
ESB is THE best SW Movie, period.
