I personally loved Star Wars since forever. But the Lord of the Rings is a fantastic movie nonetheless.

Star wars is good. Star Trek sucks.

I've asked this question twice already and barely anyone responded. STAR WARS all the way!!! It should win for best fight (Anakin vs. Obi-Wan), hero (Obi-Wan), and villian (Anakin). I was so depressed after they lost to Narnia!! That was the entire reason why I watched the Academy Awards, to watch Star Wars win. But no they don't and all they got nominated for is MAKEUP!!! I was furios. Now I absolutely hate the oscars. they're fake and stupid. the movies that TRULY deserved to win didn't. Anyways...that's just my opinion.I've already voted hundreds of times!!\n \nGO STAR WARS!!!

The Lord of Rings Trilogy --- J.R.R. Tolkien

None really.  The whole series kind of sucked.\n\nThe Hobbit was the best of all of them, but that's just b/c the name 'Bilbo Baggins' is fun to say.

Hey the Trilogy are books.  Don't just go by the movie, the books are more interesting and don't send you to sleep. Start with "The Hobbit", then move on to "The Lord of the Rings" and if you wish to go further "The Silmarillon" although that one is a bit heavy going.\n\nTo answer your question:\n1. There are many forces at work in the world that we do not understand.\n2. The individual can make a difference\n3. Taking care of the natural world and the environment is very important, properly looked after they will look after you.\n4. Working together, the weak can beat the strong

Sahara and National Treasure. Star Wars was OK and LOTRROTK was an excellent end to the trilogy.

Well, they *are* planning a Warcraft movie - it'll be a few years, and no idea what the topic will be yet, but it's supposedly in the works.\n\nThat said, unless they get Peter Jackson, LotR probably will still be the better movie.

Hmmm...14 hours later and no one answered - "A long time a go in a galxay far, far away..."?\n\nIn one reality or another, yes, Star Wars is ancient history, current events, AND things yet to come. If you think I'm wrong, look into string theory. Go ahead, look it up. It'll blow your mind.

I love the Star Wars Saga.  It's one of the best movies out there.

Depending on your perspective but the Lord of the Rings could be the longest just because all three were shot at the same time and all three are pretty long so if you would watch all three back to back they would be about 9 hrs.

I have been a fan of Star Wars since I was seven years old, seeing the first movie in the theaters in 1977. I think it is on its way to becoming a timeless classic. The elements of the movies (good vs. evil, freedom from oppression, the power of love, etc) will always be strong no matter when they are watched.\n\nSorry... I tend to be long winded... from time to time... dear oh dear...\n\n"A New Hope"... Granted, the special effects in "A New Hope" are nothing compared to what we see today, but we wouldn't have the special effects of today without the groundbreaking efforts of Star Wars to pave the road.\n\n"The Empire Strikes Back"... This one has to be the best all the way around - just enough darkness to keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. Plus, the biggest revelation ever presented... "Luke... I AM YOUR FATHER!"\n\n"Return of the Jedi"... Once you get past the fact that an entire legion of the Emperor's best troops were thwarted by teddy bears, the redemption of the most vile creature in the galaxy makes it worth it.\n\n"The Phantom Menace"... The return to the galaxy far, far away wasn't as great as I expected it to be... maybe because I was no longer seven years old. It felt a little awkward at first, but after a while it kinda grew on me.\n\n"Attack of the Clones"... Probably the one film with the most missed potential. The battle scenes were fabulous. The special effects were phenominal. The dialogue... well... did I mention the great battle scenes?\n\n"Revenge of the Sith"... Finally, we see not only why Anakin became Vader, but why he must wear the suit... the only flaw I had with this one was the wooden dialogue between Anakin and Padme'... especially the lovey-dovey scenes near the beginning.\n\nDespite the bad press many people give the prequel trilogy, when it is watched as a whole it flows perfectly together alongside the original trilogy. I look forward to introducing the saga to my son in about seven years!

Yes to both. The books are better.  The 2nd and 3rd movies were nothing like the books.

I concur, "Empire" is also my fav.  "Return of the Jedi" is a close second.  The middle movie rocks, since it's sole purpose is to build on the plot.  It does not have to introduce the entire idea, nor does it have to finish it up.  It can develop the characters and plot.  And, of course, the whole "losing his hand and finding out that Darth is his father" scene for Luke makes the whole film.  Yoda rocks, obviously.  "I love you... I know" is also a classic.  And the movie ends with the promise of so much more.  "Empire" rocks.
