    Which is the Holy Trilogy? (LOTR -V- Starwars)

    was watching Clerks II the other night and the scene where they debate the LOTR -v- Starwars got me to thinking. which do people think is better

    1. LOTR
    2. Starwars(original Trilogy)
    3. Starwars Saga(episode's I-VI)

    I'll get the ball Rolling with a vote for all things in a galaxy far far away (thats the Starwars Saga for all you non-believers)

    Or indeed if any one thinks another trilogy/series of movie is worthy of a mention in this hallowed company please feel free

    Has to be the Starwars original Trilogy. It has everything. Great story, groundbreaking special effects and some really memorable lines.

    Leia-"I'd just as soon kiss a wookie"
    Han -"I can arrange that. He could do witha good kiss"

    my personal favorites have to be "get in there you big hairy oaf I don't care what you smell" Han to Chewie when he pushing him down the garbage shoot on the Deathstar
    and
    "You came in that? you're braver than I thought"
    Leia to han on seeing the Falcon

    the whole trilogy is packed with double meaning and innuendo

    Star Wars 4-6 definitely.
    It has everything is true but that also includes an extra 3 films.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    I'm gonna go for Lord of the Rings, the story is brilliant, special effects amazing, and the acting was top notch.

    As for Stars Wars, well I'm a big fan of the original trilogy, but I honestly think that the new trilogy has taken a lot away from it. It's made the Star Wars galaxy seem very small, and has made Darth Vader look like garbage to be honest. I remember thinking that Vader was a powerful, evil Sith that came good in the end, now he's just a spoilt brat, who is not at all powerful, and has led a pretty pathetic life

    Star wars original without a doubt.

    Never liked LOTR. Books sent me to sleep with the style of writing(thought he story is amazing) and the movies werent much better

    i agree. Star wars was great, but the recent 3 films really took the gloss off the originals for me. Lord Of The Rings is quite simply breathtaking. I got into it from the start and then moved on to the books (which are better). Amazing films all round, so it's gotta be LOTR

    Of the ones mentioned, the original Star Wars for me.
    But I would have to say the Godfather. Even with a weak third installment.

    Has to be the original stars wars, LOTR is terrible I can believe I wasted so much of my life on that tripe. Terrible story, poorly acted, poorly written about 9 hours too long. Battle scenes are ok I’m just not impressed with good time keeping and what you can do with a computer.

    The film equivalent of an Enya song….. painful


    Also clerks 2 was ****e as well, kevin smith should either give up or go back to what he knows best , Jersey girl and clerks 2 have been very very poor

    Original Star Wars Trilogy, by a country parsec!

    Others that could be considered for a poll could be Mad Max (Second one is brilliant), Indiana Jones (opposite to Mad Max), the three Superman films (don't consider the fourth), Jurassic Park or Jaws (not that I fgive a damn for the last two).
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    I believe Kevin Smith will be working on the imminant Star Wars TV series.

    LOTR is great when it gets going but theres too much walking about and advertising the New Zealand tourist board for my liking. As for the prequel SW trilogy, The first one is a steaming pile of cack but the pod race is worth watching for the special effects and the three way sabre fight at the end is kick @ss.
    AOTC is better. Still not a great movie but watchable and good in parts. Jango Fett is pretty cool as is the big battle at the end.
    I really liked ROTS though it still wasn't a patch on the original trinogy.

    One and two but not three.
    Gene Hackman is great in the first one.

    Would put the original Star Wars ahead of LOTR as I grew up watching it and LOTR can be a bit slow moving at times.

    But my fav of all time is The Godfather Trilogy(well not so much with no.3).

    My top 5 would be:
    Godfather
    Star Wars(Original)
    LOTR
    Indiana Jones trilogy
    Die Hard
