Lion in Winter is a great stand-alone comedy with a blistering script and amazing performances by O'Toole, Hepburn, and a young Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton. But I have to give it to Empire for taking the foundations laid in A New Hope and turning it into a timeless sci-fi fantasy epic of almost unrivaled iconic stature. It's my least favorite film of the original trilogy, but it's still just a touch better than Lion.
