re: Where does Nolan's Batman rank on all-time trilogies?

Now you understand how I feel about TDKR

No, I don't. Because while I don't think The Godfather Part III is in the same league as the other two films, I still like it and try not to nitpick at simple things that wouldn't happen in real life.

I also have the first two Godfather films in my Top 10 whereas the closest Batman film - The Dark Knight - is probably not even in my Top 30.

The Godfather Part III is a good film

Well this is an opinion. Most people not only dislike part 3, but hate it. Critically, it received a very mixed reception.

---

It has everything to do with expectations IMO - if the Godfather III were a stand alone movie people probably wouldn't judge it harshly IMO. They would consider it a nice film but not amazing.

In my case I loved the first Godfather immensely but felt like the second was a lesser quality movie that really did disappoint me when I saw it. I would not have felt that way if I didn't love the first one as much as I did.

I've never made a top ten list. All I know is would include The Wizard of Oz, TDK, Aliens, Empire Strikes Back, godfather part II and American Psycho

Just my favorites

Is LOTR really a trilogy or just one movie split into three parts?

I regard it as one movie split into three parts but others will call it a trilogy. I won't argue with them because they are just as right as I am.

And as for my Top 10. This is how it goes:


1. Schindler's List
2. The Godfather Part II
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. United 93
5. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
6. Apollo 13.
7. Glory
8. Jaws
9. The Godfather
10. Star Wars

well it's based on a book that came in 3 volumes which correspond to the names of the 3 films so I'm pretty sure it's a trilogy.

if that doesn't suffice, then here's an easier explanation. The word trilogy means:

quote:

---

a set of three works of art that are connected, and that can be seen either as a single work or as three individual works

I'll add that to the list

that's on your Top 10 best movies ever made list?

Indeed it is. I was completely blown away by that film. It is probably the most accurate film that has been made about 9/11 to date and it is one that I would show my students in the future when we reach the subject of the 9/11 attacks.

I don't think I can name a single comedic movie that I would even put on my list if I ranked my favorite movies all the way to 50. The only pure comedic films that I ever remember laughing my arse off to are Caddyshack, Stripes, Animal House, and Airplane.

ETA: I would definitely put Dr. Strangelove in my Top 50 if I made one. It's not a pure comedic movie, but it's close enough.

Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But IMO you could make a list of dozens of comedies that should be considered some of the best films (of any type) ever made.
