I was six years old when the original Star Wars came out so those movies, (and to a lesser extent Indiana Jones), were big events in my childhood but they're really not close to the quality of LOTR, IMO.

Lord of the Rings indisputably. Indiana Jones was just a good time and a homage to the early adventure serials. Star Wars fell flat on its face in "Return of the Jedi". LotR however is a masterpiece throughout. I can't name a single major flaw within the films.

Can already tell this will devolve into another LOTR vs Star Wars thread. But Star Wars has this by a mile. While LOTR was shot and directed well, there just wasn't enough source material to make 3 3-hour movies about people walking interesting throughout. Unless you find gay sexual tension exciting.





Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I couldn't disagree with this post any more if I tried.

All right, look, there's only one "Return," okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi."

I've thought about it a little longer and I've changed my mind.



The answer is The Mighty Ducks trilogy.

The third movie was the worst, imo. The long trek up the mountain with the two little guys falling over each other trying to create sentiment, and then the long winded goodbye scene at the end. But, I guessed they owed the fans a "bow"/ "goodbye" after one has invested 9 hours of watching three movies of people walking to a fricking volcano.
