    Lord of the rings.
    It has a more noticable plot line.
    Star wars bores me to tears.
    Seriouly.
    I can never finish one because i always fall asleep.

    Lord of The Rings by far. And I can't wait for The Hobbit to come out in 2010 and 2011. w00t

    But hey, that's just my opinion.

    Here is my rating of the movies per amount of satisfaction... (note that I was more easily impressed when I was a kid)

    To date, few movies have impressed me as much as Jedi did at the time (I do think there have been better movies made, but it came out at the right time for me)
    and few have disappointed me more than I,II, and III

    Return of the Jedi (A+)
    Return of the King (A+)
    The Two Towers (A)
    A New Hope (A)
    Empire Strikes Back (A)
    Fellowship of the Ring (A)
    Attack of the Clones (D)
    Revenge of the Sith (D-)
    The Phantom Menace (F)

    well, Rollie, I'm sure we all believe in 'the force' and all that such bullpoopy. i found lotr movies amazing, epic, wonderous, etc, not to mention the books. so, totally LOTR.

    Star Wars. I grew up with it. Lord of the Rings scares me too much. It's much more graphic, and the characters seem so vunerable and fragile compared to the villains. It really makes me think unpleasantly about the world, and I have no idea why.

    Note my emotional response. I am never watching Lord of the Rings again.

    In my opinion, Star Wars. Firstly, Star Wars is primarily a movie franchise, LOTR is a series of books written in the first half the the twentieth century, and was not intended to be a film franchise. This means that some of the book material was omitted from the films (e.g. all the songs). Because SW was written to become a movie script, the visuals can correlate much more closely with the writer's own vision.

    Of course, this does not necessarily mean it is better. However, the SW movies were far more revolutionary than the LOTR movies - in essence SW almost singlehandedly revived the science fiction genre to become perhaps the most sucessful.

    The SW universe, carried on by fans as well as Lucas and his team, has grown to immense proportions, and far outweighs any other 'expanded universe' in the history of films, when you include novels, computer games, fan fiction and the like. In fact, the starwars.com website has a massive database of information for thousands of characters that incorporate all these different spin offs, all tied into one unthinkably complicated story, paralleling our own universe currently.

    I'm not saying that LOTR hasn't got equivalents and hasn't had impacts on popular culture, but that the sheer volume of the SW version is astronomically larger.

    Even today, despite the original SW film being released 30 years ago, people often still parody SW sayings in real-life, inform their friends whilst wearing a SCUBA diving mask that they are their father, kids make "Schzummm" noises when playing with swords.

    I think the LOTR movies were fantastic, and I get really absorbed in them when I watch the movies at the cinema or at home, but nothing quite beats the thrill I feel when I see the words "A long time ago in a galxy far, far away" and then the Star Wars logo blazes onto the screen.

    In fact, in a recent issue of Total Film magazine, celebrating 20th Century Fox's 70th birthday, it stated one of the greatest thrills of going to the cinema was the famous 20th Century Fox logo and music fanfare, with the searchlight stabbing into the night sky, because, reagrdless of the film you will actually be watching, everytime you see it your brain imagines it will be followed by the famous Star Wars brass instrument blast and intro.

    Ultimately, I think the fact that in England in the 2001 official census, Jedi was the 4th highest stated religion, beating Sikhism, Judaism and Buddhism, illustrates perfectly the impact that Star Wars has had on society.

    I by far prefer Lord of the rings!
    I expected a lot more from Star Wars but when I watched All Star Wars films & I thought it was somehow immature, as if it's made for children & teenagers.

    Star Wars. The ships and the droids, etc. are so much more belivable than the supernatural beings type of things the Lord of the Rings.
    We can look at Star Wars as future technology and I see that as more exciting. (Most of the aliens bring in some comedy also.)

    Star Wars, by about a factor of one trillion. The first three episodes too. Star Wars is also much better than all the LotR books.

    I have to go with Star Wars. Not the new ones. Remember Star Wars was made when I was a kid. They didn't have computer graphics. They had a great story and broke new ground in special effects that still hold up to the movies of today.
