Considering the overall quality of all three movies



Im struggling to think of any other trilogy that maintained such a consistently amazing quality from start to finish.

But for a less esoteric answer, every Star Wars film in the OT is better than the best LotR film.

Really? Even Return of the Jedi? Do you just not like LotR at all?

BTTF
This was my first thought but even being a personal choice, the third one was pretty weak.

Even if it's not my favorite, it's hard to argue that LotR is the right answer.

It's either that or the Before trilogy. While I think the two best Before movies are a tiny bit better than any of the LotR movies, LotR as a whole is a step above the weakest Before movie.

They really are just wonderful in every way

I was listening to the Sardonicast discussion about them recently and their revisit points out a ton of great reasons why they were so good. One of my favourite points was about how quotable the movie is for memes, but someone it's never in a mocking way about how silly the movie is like most movie meme quotes are. Pretty much all LotR meme quotes all feel they are in respect of the movie? It's just awesome.

that clerks II scene is seriously awful, wow. randall clearly has no idea what he's talking about but it seems to be framed in a way that intends for the viewer to view him as the funny one who is dominating the conversation.

also the casual homophobia is off the charts.

you can try to make the argument that this came out during a time when 'gay' was used as an insult that really just meant something else, but that's not even what is going on here. randall is literally using two characters being gay as the punchline for a joke, trying to torment and insult people with the idea. because it's apparently so unpleasant that it makes a guy vomit! really glad we as a society have mostly outgrown this style of humor.

(I didn't even mention the F bomb)

Well most Kevin Smith movies are terrible. Clerks and Red State are the only good ones, and it's not like either of those are that amazing either.

I fell asleep watching my favorite team in the NBA playoffs once. Certain people took this to mean I didn't really like basketball but I think I was just sleep deprived in high school

I think the Fellowship of the Ring was the only time I actually fell asleep at a movie theater.

That had nothing to do with the film though and was just because I had been awake for over two days straight at the time.

The Dollars trilogy is perhaps the best. I doubt LOTR is even in my top 10 film trilogies, Two Towers was kinda weak.

It comes close to LOTR and Original SW trilogy, but I like High Fantasy more so I vote LOTR.
