Was Flash Gordon (1980) the greatest movie ever?

I found that online years and downloaded it, haven't had the chance to "revisit" it yet. I saw it for the first time at our local college $1 movie night in the early 80's and loved it. It was made in the mid-70's and predates the 1980 release. I was listening to talk radio last week and they were talking about the 80's version! They wanted at least three movies but it all fell apart. It was loved by the younger guys talking about it but a lot of the 80's movies are even with less then stellar scripts, the actors seemed to embrace the roles.
