This is truly a tough choice, since I like all of the above. I chose the "Alien" series, primarily because there is a sequel in the works for release this August. It incorporates both the "Alien" and "Predator" creatures and is called, appropriately enough, "AVP" (Alien versus Predator).

Mmmmmmm... tough choice, indeed.
I went with Indiana Jones. I really do love those movies. Yes, OK... So I admit it. Harrison Ford does have a lot to do with it! But the stories are great too. Good fun!
Second choice: Alien (which really rather surprises me, as I generally do not like the scary genre.)
Third choice: Back to the Future
Fourth choice: Star Wars |

| Definitely Alien, the second movie was even better than the first one. It was non-stop action from start to finish. |

I went with Back to the Future; though I love LOTR, Indiana Jones and most of the Star Trek movies. Highlander...I'm a huge HL fan (movie and series), but the first one was the best, HL2 sucked, 3 and 4 were okay.

I chose the "Man With No Name" trilogy. "Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" are all solid films. Of the three I definitely prefer the second two films more. Lee Van Cleef is a strong addition to Clint Eastwood's talent. Throw in Eli Wallach in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and you've got the greatest western ever made. |

My favorite is the Indiana Jones movies. Yes, I have to be honest too WW, it is Harrison Ford that makes me vote for the Indiana Jones movies. That is one good looking man!!!

In addition to my post voting for the "Alien" series, I would like to note that there is a teaser trailer for the new "Alien Versus Predator" movie. It can be found at the offical website:

I have to go with Tolkien.
It just has a certain ring to it.

I voted for Lord of the Rings - have LOVED those books since I was young (not YESTERDAY!  ) and I thought the three movies were ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
There was 'no contest' for FIRST place in the Poll. However, my SECOND choice wasn't there - 'Stargate SG-1'. I JUST LOVE 'Stargate'!!! I LOVED the movie - I know there hasn't been a 'trilogy' of Stargate movies but... there HAS been a follow-up TV series, which is as good as having 'follow up' movies...????
Being a real archeology fan, I LOVE the references to that side of the story! Hook it up with my other interest, Cosmology/Quantum theory and - it just all comes together for me!! (Of course, Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks help! )
And while I know that another movie is on the cards, I'm just hanging here, waiting for Season 8 - ROLL ON JULY 23RD!!!  |

Ohhhhh... I didn't know about this! (I so seldom have time to follow things up the way I'd like to! And... I haven't been over to the Stargate site as I DON'T WANT TO KNOW what happens this season!! I'd rather wait and SEE what develops!)
But I followed your 'link' - sounds interesting! I'll definitely try it... I find 'spin-off's' seldom work for me - I just COULDN'T get into 'Star Trek: Enterprise'. BUT I always 'give them a go'. And I'll do the same for 'Stargate: Atlantis'...
Thanks! |
