Well, if we're including the exceedingly juvenile prequels the Lord of the Rings beats Star Wars handily. If we're talking the original trilogy.....well, I'm so much of a LotR fan that the LotR trilogy still beats Star Wars 4, 5, and 6 by a tiny bit.
Star Wars, original and prequel trilogies. Yep, that's right. The prequels are hot. Everyone's either blinded by nostalgia, or following the elitist herd-mentality of "can't compare to the originals" if they say the prequels are junk. I can see preferring the originals to the prequels, but over-stating a dislike for (at the very least)decent movies, by acting like they are baby cancer, shows a lack of concern for having one's opinion taken seriously.
Kind of like Mario Sunshine and the numerous times it's been called garbage. If Sunshine and the SW prequels are "garbage", I'd hate to see what everyone thinks of a movie like Charlie's Angels or a game like the PlayStation's Phantom Menace. Jar Jar Binks is too childish and goofy??? Perhaps if he delivered a line like "Who's scruffy lookin", he'd get some respect and be considered the greatest character in Star Wars history. Personally, I hope Uncle Georgie make a pre-prequel, extravaganza of a magnum opus to the life, times, and comic mischief of Jar Jar, then buries the public in an advertisement and tie-in blitzkrieg the likes of which we have never seen!
Still, the LotR movies are great and considered among my favorites. But I can't help but to think...they could use a little Jar Jar.

Lord of the Rings was a book first and then they turned it into a movie. So you have to put that into your thought too. You really have to stick with the book too when you make a movie that had a book
Dang that is tough. I would have to go with Star Wars though. My friends and I were talking about this last night, we can't sit down and watch LotR movies like we can Star Wars. I mean LotR is good every couple of years but it might be hard for me to sit and watch the whole thing through.

Or it might be because regardless of how it compares to the original trilolgy, the prequels were awful movies in their own right.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

That's it stof. I'm personally going to undertake the task of writing the 5 hour, slapstick-laden Jar Jar Binks masterpiece....dedicated to you. Maybe Lucas could even make a Jar Jar/Postman Pat crossover movie?

I can see it now
Yousa tinkin yousa people gonna get MAIL!?"

That's the spirit, stof. Glad to see you're coming around. I'm wondering if Postman Pat should be played by an actual actor, some guy payed scale wearing a rubber suit, or glorious Lucas CGI. Personally, I'm hoping for an all-out CGI orgy, since everyone loved that so much for the prequels.

I always preferd the Star Wars films (original trilogy mind) as the LoTR trilogy always dragged when they weren't having a battle.
