Our Trilogy Series continues with The Empire Strikes Back! Many hold this up as the greatest sequel ever made, but that sells it short. This is one of the greatest movies ever made, sequel or not. I have a list of 25 perfect movies, and this is one of them.

To pair with this perfect movie, we drink a delicious California Cabernet. It's a bold, darker wine to go with a bold and darker sequel. Plus, Empire is all about cool colors and cold climates, so a nice heavy red will help warm you up.

For our next trilogy of films, Cinemavino heads to sacred cinematic ground: The original Star Wars trilogy. Simply put, these are movies that made me love movies. With this film's opening crawl and subsequent space battle, my young mind was blown. I became an instant movie fan, sci-fi fan, and fantasy fan, all at once.

We cover what this installment means to us, how it holds up, and also some juicy backstage trivia. Enjoy!

Also, Travis develops a raunchy new way of rating movies.

Hello! We hope you've enjoyed our Trilogy Series so far! This week, we're taking a scheduled break, as all my kids are home for Spring Break. We'll be back next week with Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope. It's one of my all-time favorites, so this trilogy should be a lot of fun.

In the meantime, we'll take a look back at an episode from our Best Picture series, Unforgiven. This is a timely way to honor the passing of one of my favorite actors, Gene Hackman. He won an Oscar for this movie, and it's a performance for the ages.

We hope you enjoy this flashback, and we'll see you next week!

Hey, and welcome back to Cinemavino! This week, our Sci-Fi Series continues with a host favorite, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. We're Trek nerds, so this episode has a special place.

Take:
