100 Best Movies since 1980

65. The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
...
I'd really sort of prefer only one LOTR movie on the list to make room for more non-franchise movies, but if there are going to be three Avengers movies (yuck) and two Star Wars movies on the list, then I think this whole trilogy belongs.

I kind of wanted to say "yuck" to more than one choice...as far as LOTR the first movie was wonderful... after that, boe-ring. 

Yeah, I bit my lip on a couple. But my problem with AVENGERS is not that I think they are terrible choices, it's that I hate to see a big Hollywood tentpole franchise taking up 3 spots (I wouldn't mind 1 spot so much). So since I think LOTR is much, much better than Marvel, I feel obligated to use up slots to make sure all three of them get on, too.

Most people rate Peter Jackson's movies much higher than I do. Some of the things he did to those stories are really terrible.

Well if including deleted story those movies could only've been longer...
