Star Wars (orignal 4-6) - in my opinion, they set the standard by which all sci-fi movies had to live up to afterwards. Truly the kings, despite the weaknesses of ROTJ. A lot of the CGI used back then was not only created on the fly, but it's become one of the official studios for CGI today.
Star Wars (Episodes 1-3) - I honestly think there's potential here, but Lucas just didn't know how to make it connect more because of the CGI technology available to him. Sure they looked pretty but that human-touch was missed.
The Godfather - there was a trilogy?
Lord Of The Rings - I'm with Sir O, although I feel Jackson tried as hard as he could to stay true to the books, and even went the extra mile to film more footage for the DVD releases. It's definitely in the top three.
Back To The Future - eh, I see this as more of a time period - it's heavily 80's dated, and I always felt that part 3 was a real let down.
Indiana Jones - Since there's a 4 coming out, it negates the trilogy aspect, but I also thought that 1 was the best, 2 was so-so and 3 was better than 2, but it was also more comedic than drama.
The Matrix - I'm one of the few people who enjoyed these movies. I think the story is one of the finest sci-fi tales of our time, and considering our ever-increasing reliance on machines for day to day affairs, it's also timely. To be one of the greatest, I dunno about that.
So yeah, its eps 4-6, then the Godfather and LOTR - the others are eh.
