THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER? (LOTR WINS!)

[Samurai Neil]

Uh, why must we insult the Star Wars Prequels? There not even prequels in the sense the they are 1, 2, and 3, in a series that oddly began with 4, 5, and 6. Besides, Revenge of the Sith was the best Star Wars movie. The peak of acting, animation, and un-copying of other stories. (Mumakil and AT-ATs are oddly similar, and yes, Mumakil came first.) Besides, who can't help but love nonsensical lines like "Only a Sith makes an absolute.)

Then again, I voted for It's a Wonderful Life.

The Lord of the Rings. HANDS DOWN.

In the immortal words of my Dad, "The Lord of the Rings trilogy was probably one of the greatest and most flawless movies ever made."

[The Top Crusader]

LOTR was awful... I voted Star Wars but probably should have voted It's A Wonderful Life... I like them both a ton but they are obviously very different.

[jasonjannajerryjohn]

Ya, LOTR trilogy are not the greatest movies ever made. They are amazing, but they lack so much in some areas, and have some really bad and or boring scenes.

[The Top Crusader]

Well, it shouldn't take 10 hours to throw a ring into a hole.

[American Eagle]

Well, it shouldn't take 10 hours to throw a ring into a hole.

But it's a magic ring!

It's a Wonderful Life. This one is a no-brainer.

I must agree with you guys on that, Trent and JJJJ. That specific movie is a classic, and is also one that my family has watched almost every single Christmas! Plus the Barclay's names were inspired by it. Can you imagine there being no Donna Barclay... Ah! I just imagined it.

And because I haven't yet watched any one of the movies from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it wasn't a very difficult decision to make. (Sorry, Catspaw. I guess your brainwashing techniques just don't quite work. And you're right, they do need to re-release It's a Wonderful Life on DVD.)

"Every time a bell rings, an Angel gets its wings!"

[Chandler]

Well, it shouldn't take 10 hours to throw a ring into a hole.

Quoted for the sheer conciseness of this little nugget of truth.

[Laura Ingalls]

I voted for all three of these in previous polls, so it was quite hard to decide. I finally went with It's a Wonderful Life. Yay for classic Christmas movies and Jimmy Stewart!

Couldn't have said it better! Vertigo had been my #1 favorite movie for awhile but LOTR has dethroned it.

LOTR is soooo much better than Star Wars, better acting, better writing, even the music is better. The cgi for the most part looked realistic compared to the "cartoonish" cgi of AOTC. Now if you want to say which movie(s) is the best based on an original idea, I'd say Star Wars hands down. I'm a Star Wars fan but LOTR blows it away and I can't wait for The Hobbit.

[Ben Linus]

Well, it shouldn't take 10 hours to throw a ring into a hole.

But it's a magic ring!

*Cough* If you're watching the directors cut, it's more like 25....

I voted LOTR just because I think it's better than It's a Wonderful Life or Star Wars; but I'd have to agree. Seriously now, why didn't they just jump on some eagles, fly to mount doom, drop the ring and save the world? Why did they even have to walk?

Wow, fly right into Mordor where there are thousands of patrolling Orcs with bows and arrows. Brilliant idea.


The whole idea was to keep the Ring safe by being all quiet and sneaky about it. If they were flying everywhere with giant Eagles and everything... that wouldn't go so well.

EDIT: And assuming they somehow did make it to Mount Doom, they couldn't just drop the Ring. They'd have to dismount, run to the Cracks of Doom with all the Orcs that have been following them the whole time, and THEN drop the Ring. It'd be virtually impossible to survive.

Plus, they couldn't just summon the Eagles whenever they wished.

[Sapphire]

I voted for Star Wars!

And the Nazguls' steeds could just attack the Eagles.

ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY FLY ON THE WINGS OF EAGLES INTO MORDOR

[Irwin]

It's a Wonderful Life.

End of story.

[The Top Crusader]

Plus Liv Tyler was in LOTR and she has weird lips.

[Baragon]

Dude... all these movies are stinky.

[Ben Linus]

You all just had to ruin my theory...

ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY FLY ON THE WINGS OF EAGLES INTO MORDOR

Nor does one Cat Tank. Or scoop-da-loop.

[jelly]

I have an awful feeling that IAWL will win. I think there's to many people here who haven't seen LOTR, and EVERYONE'S seen the Christmas classic...
