**Movies you waited a long time to see** 1. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1931) 2. Casablanca (1942) 3. Arrowsmith (1931) 4. Fear and Desire (1952) 5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 6. The Princess Bride (1987) 7. The Godfather (1972) 8. Fantasia (1940) I didn’t see it until around 1973, when I was in college. ---

Star Wars (1977) I didn’t see the first movie until I was at a friend’s house and they had a bootleg copy of _The Empire Strikes Back_, in 1980, while it was still in theaters. _Star Wars_ was also on that tape. ---

It has _not_ held up well IMHO. Pass. ---

I should re-visit and see what I think of it now. The best part IMO is the medieval banquet scene: the chicken skin, the duel. The rest of the movie, not so much.
