NOTE:  I put the original Star Wars on my Netflix queue and received it the other day, I watched again the original Star Wars after many years of watching the most recent releases I, II and III, I remembered again how much I love the story and was over-whelmed by the quality of the film that was made in 1977.  No matter how great the most recent releases are I don't think the original Star Wars will ever be topped.  Now I look forward to getting the originals in Blu Ray.
