what is peter jacksons best film?

[tucker]

I have not seen many of his films but i believe some of his better works are without fran walsh.

[Cullen]

Lord of the Rings.  By far.

(Now, I feel I have to add that I haven't seen very many Peter Jackson films; Brain Dead and The Frighteners are about it.  But there hasn't been a one of them that I've seen that I haven't like.)

BRAINDEAD (U.S. Title: DEAD ALIVE). I liked THE LORD OF THE RINGS, but Jackson's earlier work is, by far, the BEST in his entire career. BRAINDEAD works not just in the zombie-splatter horror, but also works as an intended comedy.

And I have yet to see another film that tries to top BRAINDEAD.

I didn't think BRAINDEAD worked as splatter-horror.  It didn't scare me much.  I thought MEET THE FEEBLES was much more disturbing.   I'd say MEET THE FEEBLES was his best film from his early career, HEAVENLY CREATURES was his best from the middle period, but the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy rules all.

Bad Taste, easily. He went steadily downhill after that, with Meet the Feebles being "only" excellent and Braindead (Dead Alive) "only" very good.

[Ash]

"Dead Alive" followed closely by "Bad Taste".

[Lee]

I have to go with Meet The Feebles. Quite possibly the most derranged movie I've ever seen! :)

[TheFeen]

Bad Taste definately, if you take it for what it is. Endlessly inventive and funny.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, for a number of reasons...

1.)  Scope.  The production is fabulously ambitious.  It's never been done before, and in sheer scope, it exceeds even classics like Ben Hur.

2.)Loyalty to Source Material -   It is quite clear that Mr. Jackson is a fan of the books.  There are minor changes, for the purpose of pacing, but nothing vast or plot-shattering.  It comes across as a labor of love - which, as I understand it, it was.  (Of course, there is the small issue of Arragorn's age... but, to be honest, I like this better.  I always found it a little tough to believe that he was like 60 or something...)

3.)End Product - I went into the Fellowship of the Ring expecting to be let down.  I went in thinking "Yeah, this'll be kinda cool, but it won't be Tolkien."  I was wrong.  It WAS Tolkien.  The world is presented as a character in and of itself, the characterization is fabulous, the acting is excellent, the pacing perfect.  And the cinemetography is breathtaking.

Yeah, it ain't Dead-Alive.  But, then, why should it be, when it can be what it is instead - a worthy adaptation of the greatest fantasy novel ever written.

Dead Alive-- I honestly think it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Jackson's old "trilogy" beats his new trilogy any day of the week!

(Oh, yeah, and I'll check, but I'm pretty sure Bad Taste is the only one he's done without Walsh)

It really depends on what you like.  I'm not much into splatter,gore, horror much  but I love the books The Lord Of The Rings so I love the movies but probably wouldn't enjoy "Bad Taste" or much of his older work.  

If someone is good at what they do, then "best work" really depends on what you like because they are liable to do many things well
