Just watched the first half of A New Hope with my young nieces, which kept them fairly engaged even though they're only 5 and 7, and I was struck again by just how well constructed it is.

It's pretty clear how it became an instant classic. Which makes it kind of bizarre to learn about how it was almost just a bad movie instead:
