What is your favorite movie or movie trilogy (or beyond 3 movies) that is your favorite of all time?

Hm.

That last bit ruins it for me. I can almost always find something wrong with a film, even the ones I really enjoy.

If you want a dissertation on all things wrong with LotR and The Hobbit, let me know when you have a few hours.

Event Horizon is one of my favourites, though, and has few obvious fallacies.

The Monsieur Hulot series by Jacques Tati. I still would like to drive a Deux Chevaux.

Serenity but this answer is greatly variable. Tomorrow it could be the good the bad and the ugly, in a few hours it could be Akira or the empire strikes back.

@Seek I know a lot of people don’t like the LOTR series or the Hobbit and favor the book over it all. There’s nothing wrong with that

@zenvelo I think I’ve heard of that series, I’ll have to rewatch it :)

@ARE_you_kidding_me I know how you feel, I was honestly going to add on as well All the Classic Disney movies or All of the Studio Ghibli movies. It’s hard just sticking to just one or a few :)

I have a bias against triology. The first movie can be great, the sencond can too but it isn’t likely to match the greatness of the first, and by the time they get to the third, the quality has just gone. That being said, I’m fairly pleased by the Dirty Harry series. Though it suffers from the same problem I describe, at least it doesn’t suck as hard as other series. The first one is awesome, the second one is great, and the third one is OK. I don’t know if I should continue with the other two…

I brought this up at dinner with my kids. My son said, “The Back To the Future” series.

My daughter said the problem with trilogies is one movie is always weak and you would never watch it if it weren’t part of a set.

My absolute fave movie is a recent one, Grand Budapest Hotel
Trilogy, the “Dollars” films…Fistful, More & GBU, masterpieces in film making

The Harry Potter films. I also loved the LOTR films and the Narnia films.

As a lifelong movie buff, part-time movie reviewer and admirer of most film genres, it’s impossible for me to name one favorite movie. The list would fill pages and pages, and judging from your choices, I’m sure you’re too young to be familiar with most of them. Your parents or maybe even grandparents might, though. ;-)

The Lord of the Rings, but, sad to say, not the Hobbit trilogy.

The Terminator

or

Scream

Years ago, a copy of The Godfather was purchased at a yard sale and read. I hated it.

Last year, SO finally convinced me to watch the movie. That film is so brilliantly done from all aspects that it should be on everyone’s watchlist.

I like the “Zero Woman” series from Japan. The heroine Rei is a woman without a past who has a license to kill in a top secret division of Tokyo Police Dept. She is Agent 007 minus the 07 leaving only Zero. A different actress plays her in each movie. She is Miki Sugimoto in the first one, Natsuki Ozawa in the second and Kumiko Takeda in the third.. Of these actresses, I think Kumiko is the most beautiful, and Natsuki is sexiest.
