[QUOTE="JakeTD21"]I like Harry Potter alot to and the last two movies were very good. However the quality throughout the series was inconsistent and I think that the movies would have benefited if they had kept the same director throughout.foxhound_fox

I thought Harry Potter was a much more enthralling experience. It was also significantly longer and rewarding.foxhound_fox

IMO the Star Wars saga is still the best movie experience. LOTR is a very close second, hopefully The Hobbit is just as good if not better.

It goes Star Wars>Godfather>Indiana Jones>Alien>LotR

I can probably name 100 movies that have come out since ROTK that I would consider better.

Name Ten.

I still prefer any of the LOTR movies over those, by far, nothing exceptional about any of them, although I haven't seen the ones bolded.

Perhaps the Hobbit?

Honestly I feel that there are several movies that are just as good as LOTR's, but they are very different experiences. For instance I think Shawshank Redemption is just as powerful of a movie as LOTR's, but it satisfies viewers in a very different way. Its different, but just as necessary.

Surpassed? Unlikely. You'd need a perfect storm of scriptwriters, actors, and director, willing to dedicate 2-3 years of their lives to making a series of 3-4 movies with action, humor and tragedy on par with LOTR.

I can think of a few properties that would make good movies, but will Hollywood be willing to roll the dice on them like they were with LOTR (which came with a rabid fanbase already in place)?

For those of you who said "Avatar"... I don't see it (as a franchise) coming close to LOTR, because the story of the first one was so shallow and predictable (I could tell how it was going to end 30 minutes into the movie) and the "epic" battles were nowhere near epic enough (and fell into the "predictable" category as well).
