The Movie: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
What Is It?: The second
Star Wars picture belongs on that short list
of sequels that best their predecessors. After battling space yetis and
dinosaur trucks, the old gang splits up to get hunted by super-cool bounty
hunters with barely any screen time, train with a puppet master, and learn terrible
things about their families. The cool blue aesthetic is as enchanting as the
snowy, swampy, and cloudy environments.
Why Today?: Today
is Father’s Day. I hope your dad is
better than the one in this flick.
