Star Wars should be considered the cool crowd's sci-fi movie of choice.
When Star Wars came out in 1977 it was unheard of for a Sci-fi movie to gross more
than any other movie ever made. Even more surprising was how it brought together
so many generations to the point where it is almost impossible to find an
American adult or child that is not at least somewhat familiar with Star Wars.
Doctor Who
Some might disagree that the Doctor and his time traveling ilk belong among
"the good" at all, but for those that can see past the sometimes extreme
campiness of the series it can offer some enlightenment on human nature and
is just all around fun. By the way, If you already knew that TARDIS stands for
"Time And Relative Dimensions In Space" then you probably wasted as much of
your youth in front of a TV as I did :)
