   1977   Star Wars (later sub-titled "A New Hope")   
      
   1979   Star Trek: The Motion Picture   
      
      
   The first Star Trek movie came two years after the first Star Wars   
   movie. The Star Trek TV series was not a direct influence on Star Wars.   
   Flash Gordon was the main influence, along with numerous other movies   
   from other genres.
