You're right...Godfather.
This is actually very hard. I absolutely love LotR, but because it's the flavor of the decade makes me wary to pick it. Indiana Jones and Star Wars are some badass movies for the ages.
I want to fight the person who checked "Back to the Future".
Not easy at all. Star Wars by a nose over LOTR. A very small nose. Tiny, in fact.
I guess I should have classified which Star Wars trilogy. And I don't think Star Wars is even close.

The original Star Wars had that specialness to it. Kind of like the 2000 OU season. It'll be impossible to recreate.
Those who did not choose Indiana Jones chose....poorly.
Agreed.
Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.

The Temple of Doom brought the average down like Return of the Jedi does for Star Wars.
There are no weak links in the LOTR trilogy.
Hard to argue with that. The Temple of Doom wasn't quite on par with 1 and 3 and LOTR is pretty consistent through all 3. I'll have to say that Indiana Jones will get more play time on my DVD hence my selection.

ok, the matrix AS A TRILOGY wasn't THAT great, Back to the Future might have a chance if you only meant the FIRST ONE (because 2 and 3 sucked). As much as I love the ORIGINAL star wars trilogy its chance is shot to hell by episodes one and two, for a few simple reasons: 1) Jake Lloyd should die 2)Hayden Christiensen is a whinybitch 3) "Attack of the Clones", i mean come on, that's a very small step away from "Send in the Clones". and 4) JAR JAR.
Why would I want the mafia when i could have the Fellowship? You CANNOT get more badass than that.
So the only tough choice is Indiana Jones vs. The Lord of the Rings.
True, Indiana Jones has some major points in its favor--Junior, Sean Connery, short round (you remember, Data from the Goonies--driving the car w/ blocks on his feet?), the snakes, the whip, the hat. And don't forget John Rhys-Davies
howEVER, the stupid screaming blonde (kate capshaw) in the second movie (the one with the monkey brains and no nazis) takes Indiana Jones from the running. (plus they're making a fourth one, so it will soon be a quadrillogy.)

We bought the DVD boxed set the moment it came out.
We sold it in less than a week.
We had a hard time sitting through any of 'em -- it hadn't stood the test of time at all. That, or they just weren't films with any enjoyable nuggets to rediscover later. What you saw is what you saw -- and that's all you'll ever see.
The original Star Wars trilogy was true magic, and of a sort that'll never be recovered. Each film didn't just raise the bar for special effects -- it changed on a fundamental level what we thought was possible with special effects.
I remember waiting six hours in line with my dad as a little kid to catch Return of the Jedi. Thanks to modern policies of pre-selling tickets, you don't get that any more (standing in line just to buy tickets to a later showing, as some folks did for Phantom Menace and Loads of Bobafett's Dad, is just plain stupid) Hence, we'll never recapture the same sort of excitement that we did with the original Star Wars trilogy.
Which, it's worth mentioning, was merely the middle part of a nine-part series. It annoys the crap out of me that Lucas has tried so hard to act as if he never had any intention of doing episodes 7-9. Then again, maybe I should be thankful he doesn't plan to do them now.
Harrison Ford should get some retroactive awards for the dialogue he contributed to the original trilogy. Lucas should hire him for episode 3 -- assuming it isn't too late to save that one
Indiana Jones isn't a trilogy, it's a series. A trilogy has a single storyline.
In fact, in another year it'll be even LESS a trilogy.
lol, no votes for Matrix, I thought there would be one of you out there.
I'll 2nd that
Godfather III = Rocky V = Batman III to present = Superman III and IV
Shouda quit while they were ahead
