    Earlier someone posted "what is the worst movie with a 'Star Wars' star?" So how about the flip side--what do you think are the best films with "Star Wars" stars?

    I loved Moulin Rouge. (Ewan McGregor)
    I also liked Life as a House (Hayden) and Beautiful Girls (Natalie). Air Force One (Harrison Ford) rocked. And of course, Fellowship of the Ring (Christopher Lee) and A Time to Kill (Samuel L. Jackson).

    You know, I've never seen that movie all the way through. I must have slept through the '80s (actually, I was a sheltered child--although I did get to see E.T.)

    "K-19 the Widowmaker" with Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford was pretty good.

    That was Beverly Hills Cop 2 or 3, right? I'm thinking it was 3. Not exactly one of Eddie Murphy's better films. :p

    Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It's my favorite of the series; you just can't beat Sean Connery as Jones Senior.

    Trainspotting. I love that movie. It ruined the "touching" ending to FOTR, though. When Sam's drowning in the river and a hand suddenly pulls him out, I thought he'd come out a toilet.

    I forgot Alec Guinness in Bridge on the River Kwai, Dr. Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia.

    Billy Dee Williams was in Batman.

    The Mosquito Coast for Harrison Ford, Shallow Grave for Ewan McGregor, and probably Kind Hearts and Coronets (spelt wrong!) for Alec Guinness.

    I really liked 'Once Were Warriors' and its sequel, 'What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted'.
    Both starred Temuera Morrison. (Jango).
    Very good but definitely adult material! (Mostly due to violence).

    The best movie with a Star Wars star?

    "Schindler's List" with Liam Neeson. Best movie ever. Academy should've given Liam the Oscar for his amazing performance.

    Other great movies with Star Wars stars:

    "Moulin Rouge" and "Trainspotting" with Ewan McGregor
    "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford
    "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" with Christopher Lee
    "Doctor Zhivago" with Alec Guinness

    :)
