You are basically asking me to pick between 3 series of movies that I happen to love.
But nothing........and I mean nothing trumps Star Wars.
EVER.

I'm going to go with the Matrix. It the most philosophical of the three franchises. It's so Platonic, it gives it a little extra edge. -------------

LOTR by far. The movies are great and the books are better. The Matrix is good, and I like it more than most people I talk to (I am the only one who thought all 3 movies were worthwhile), but it definitely has some seriously weak moments. I hate Star Wars with an irrational passion. Everytime i try to watch any of the movies all I can see is a feature length toy commercial. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

You're not the only one who liked all 3 Matrix movies. Those movies touched my psyche in a very deep and philosophical way (especially the first one). I'm also of the belief that if Lucas could ever have let someone with actual directorial skill direct the Star Wars movies, they would have been phenomenal. Lucas is a great producer, and had a fantastic concept, but failed to follow through much of the time. Some of the dialog is so flat and painful, IMO. LOTR was masterfully done. Almost flawless, IMO. ------------- Pure Brilliance:

| Star Wars. I only saw the first Matrix and first LotR (shocking I know) so I can't really comment on those trilogies. |

| I could never get into the whole Star Wars thing. I've tried to watch these films several times with an open mind and always fall asleep. The Matrix is damn good. But Ill say LOTR by far for me also. I was a huge fan of the books when I was younger and I thought they did a good job adapting it to movies. |

Star Wars then The Matrix. LoTR shouldn't be in this poll IMO. I wasn't a fan  , I tried though.------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

Lucas didn't direct all of them.I think Kirshner did a fine job directing The Empire Strikes Back ------------- |

Exactly my point. That one happens to be my favorite.  Revenge of the Sith was very good at points, I thought. ------------- Pure Brilliance:

"The Matrix" is an FX-laden second class copy of a first class tv-movie
by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, "Welt am Draht" ("World on the Wire"),
that was shot some 30 years ago. Give me the Fassbinder original any
time; he knew how to create suspense and atmosphere without FX-overload. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I don't see anything "geeky" in these movies, to be honest.

I think 2 and 3 are also great. (I don't like the first one very much) But i want only to make modern movies to be compared .

A difficult choice, this is...
LOTR leads to SW, SW leads to The Matrix, The Matrix leads to...
 ...suffering? I've chosen Star Wars. But I like them all. ------------- Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends... |

LOTR<-SW <- the Matrix The only thing that kills star wars is the poor acting and dialouge |

To be honest, you've got a point there!!!!
I guess I like prog, but I don't really care for science fiction / fantasy as a literary (or film) genre. Indeed, one of the things I like least about prog is the tendency to use pseudo-mythological and sword and sorcery type imagery.
