Along with Star Wars and Oceans it is up there with my favourite film series. I think Two Towers and Return of The King are on a par, but both a bit better than Fellowship.

Strangely I think that The Fellowship is the better of the books, probably because it's so detailed and large.

I don't get that with Oceans, Star Wars, American Pie or LOTR.

1 and Balboa are great.
2 and 4 are good.
3 is ok.
5 is terrible.

And also not the point i was making, it wasn't about the best series. Just about the best LOTR film.

PS. I'm really excited for The Hobbit with Tim from The Office.

Also I agree with Nonington. And Arwen pisses me off since she's completely non-canon and basically replaces Glorfindel, who's a fucking awesome character in the books.

They actually got me fired up for the fight and I was shouting GOOAARRRRRNN at my TV every time Rocky threw a punch. The others didn't give me that.

If you want to discuss any other film then start your own thread. Unless of course you want to talk about Princess Leia's outfit in the 3rd film?

All three Godfathers are overrated.

Being serious now, Toy Story is the greatest trilogy of all time. Name a trilogy where every film is just as good, if not better than the last. There isn't a second of imperfection in any Toy Story film.

Good point actually; certainly best animated films ever imo.

Going back a few years to my school days before the films were thought of me and a few mates read the books at the same time and discussed each chapter as we read it. Sitting on the school grounds one lunch time avidly reading the next installment, a priest who was visiting our chapel ( it was a catholic school) enquired as to what we were reading. He seemed most interested to hear our views on it and lsitened intently to our replies. He then said that if we were really enjoying the book he may have something of interest to show us ( worrying words from a priest to a schoolboy ! ).
The next day we went to the chapel to meet him. In he came carrying a battered old leather suitcase which he opened before us and revealed its contents. Inside were piles of papers with hand drawn pictures of mythical creatures, loads of hand drawn maps of middle-earth with various calculations scrawled about them and an endless stream of notes and scribblings all relating to LOTR. We studied them for a while commenting on the maps and reading bits of the notes and then finally got round to asking him how he got them. It turned out that the priest was Tolkiens son Christopher and he had all of his fathers notes that were drafted before he wrote the book.
Looking back, I wished Id have asked to take just one piece of paper from that case. Who would of thought it would go on to be the success it was. Even though I never had anything from it I feel honoured to have held those papers for an hour or so. If you didnt enjoy the book or film, this will mean nothing, but to those that are really into it,well, you can understand how priviledged I was ;D ;D
