I really enjoy The Rotten Tomatoes Show on Current.  As much as I like reviews by Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin I put more trust in the vlog reviewers on The Rotten Tomatoes, plus their funnier.  Anyway, last week they did a segment called Homage or Stealing in which they looked at the Death Star trench run from Star Wars and compared it to the climactic bombing run in a little known WWII film from the fifties called The Dambusters.  Just to make sure you got the point, Rotten Tomatoes jumped back and forth between the two films as they played the scene, comparing shot for shot and line for line of dialogue.  Want to guess how close they came to looking exactly alike?
