I embrace the lame...

I absolutely love Star Wars opening. Every time I see/hear it I get that same feeling in the pit of my stomach as a child when I fell in love with it.

Long ago ... in a galaxy far, far away ...

Best opening scene ever done, imo.

Harmonica: Did you bring a horse for me?
Snaky: Looks like we're shy one horse.
Harmonica: (shakes head) No. You brought two too many.

Yeah he's Merlin. In the 20 years that I've been watching that movie, I never noticed he was in it until just a year or two ago. I felt cheated! But still an awesome movie and the best movie intro while credits rolling.
