My Dad made me the geek I am today. He loved Flash Gordon with Buster Crabbe and would watch them a lot on channel 11. I'd watch for a little bit because it wasn't in color and the special effects didn't hold to 1970/80s standards.
However my Dad did take my brother and I to see the original (and good) Star Wars Trilogy, The Black Hole, Tron, Short Circuit, and countless others.
Once we had cable television I'd spend many weekends and summers absorbing the obscure films, The Eliminators, Buckaroo Banzai, Krull, Battle Beyond the Stars, and countless others.
