"Empire's Top 100"

Absolutely stupid. They're supposed to be critics?

Donnie Darko - 21. Ridiculously high.
Casablanca - 46. Ridiculously low.

Oh, and number one and two? Drum roll please...

1. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Someone needs to be shot.

I think the biggest achievement of the Rings trilogy is that it's made me completely 100% not fussed about seeing Episode III. Really. I can't be arsed with it, because it'll never be as good. Sure, I'll go see it, but do I hold any hope for it? Nah.

Fellowship bores me. Bores me until I want to cry. Then it kicks in at the mine, then slows back down and makes me want to cry. Then it has a good ending. You call that the best film of the lot?

Two Towers and Fellowship have less talk and more great cinematic moments.

Not a major LOTR fan but I also like Fellowship better at the moment. I think its because its the start of the story, the creating of the fellowship and there journey. I think all 3 films are great, never read the books, but would like to. In the cinema I was kind of wishing Two Towers would end, but watching it again, and again for a 3rd time I enjoy it more, still have the extended version to watch. Return of the King was excellent at the cinema so can not wait to own the DVD and the extended version. I have got both versions of the Fellowship and Two Towers so have to do the same with Return of the King.

o.O No way, i think a number of LOTR fans would tell you that Fellowship is the best.

Fellowship is BLATANTLY not the best film ever made. It's the weakest of the trilogy for one thing, but none of them should get the top spot at all.

Well, I just flicked through really.

I flicked through it in Virgin today and was pleasantly surprised, i thought fellowship would make top 5, but i didnt think it would be number 1. It deserves its place though, as it said the lotr trilogy is the star wars of our generation, therefore i dont see any problem with fellowship displacing a new hope.

Oh, and it was voted for by readers, not the Empire staff. Perhaps you should have read it properly, no?

Two Towers was number three, Star Wars IV was two.

*rechecks sentence*

Yep, correct. Pirates of the Caribbean at 19 was a bit far-fetched I thought.

Sure you did.
