SW, Matrix, Hannibal, Fist full of Dollars+, Terminator, Alien, LOTR. In no order.

Oh I know what I missed now, was eating at me. The Babylon 5 movies. Made for tv, but aired as full movies and sold as DVD movies. Movies are: The Gathering, Thirdspace, In the Beginning, River of Souls, A Call To Arms, The Lost Tales, Legend of the Rangers. Also best series made, especialy seasons 3&4.

As for SW, just the 3 original, and before he edited the BS in. For LOTR, I liked Two Towers best, of the books too.

I think the Two Towers is best too out of LotR. I liked The Hobbit much more though ^^

I liked the first Hobbit a lot, but not much interest in the rest. Best parts were before they even left the Shire hehe. The cliff fight was really good though. Also the riddles in the dark scene was done well.

Lethal Weapon series was good.

You guys are getting off the rocker with Band of Brothers and Babylon 5 made for TV movies. Opening up the field way to much if we go that route. As executive VP of Forum relations I strike these submissions from the permanent record

Won't argue with this. LOTR is still a visual masterpiece that broke new ground that you probably want in your dream home theater you plan to build some day, but indeed Gollum has not aged well at all.

LOTR 2 is ok, the 3rd has some strange pacing and editing. I remember us going full ADD in the theater about 2 hours in and mocking the gay innuendo close-ups of everyones face (the way the reaction shots were done was meant to be "fantasy-esque" and borderline surreal I guess but instead came off gay and indicating) about 2.5 hours in towards the end of the movie.

Lol I'll never forget that creepy fuckin look Frodo gives Sam at the end. The camera pans out from Sam and his family, while looking at Sams face... The camera then goes to Frodo who starts to nod, and then goes back to Sam... It was like Brokeback mountain.

You afraid you are going to embarrass your starbucks friends? B5 movies are movies in every sense of the word movie. They didn't sit in the made for tv series DVD section at Best Buy, they sat in the movie section. As for BoB, you fail to notice a difference, that was a mini-series, and sat in the tv series section. Distribution doesn't make something into a movie, otherwise bugs bunny cartoons would be on your list too since they use to be played in theaters as well as news reels were.

Anyway, they are stand alone movies, not a part of the B5 season list, and were aired as movies apart from the series airings. You could know nothing about the series and watch the movies and grasp that they are movies. Then they sold as movies in the DVD movie section.

Nice. People are sleeping on the Shield. I completely skipped Sons of Anarchy because the Shield had just ended, you do not top that.
