Grand themes of saving civilization as we know it, complete with romance and heroism and death and great villains, set on a multi-planetary scale. Plan B and its antecedents by Lee and Miller, of course. The Mageworld series by Doyle and Macdonald. Star Wars (the first movie now known as A New Hope). The other five movies don't qualify as they don't have the quality required for great space opera. Wagner or Verdi with spaceships.
