The influence on pop culture aside (which isn't an indication of quality, you won't find me arguing about that), in order for a movie to have an influence on cinema and a whole genre, it gotta have some qualities, surely, no? Whether in terms of production design, special effects, music, narrative...

So now we're rewriting history and pretending the OT didn't have a big influence on (blockbuster) cinema, sci-fi and pop culture as a whole? Now it's just: "They were fun movies and that's the end of it"?
