No. No, it isn't.
Just got back from a midnight showing, though, and I must say it's a damn_fine film. Definitely one of the best of the year, and I can't wait to see it again tomorrow. Go PJ!

Sorry, there's no such thing as the greatest movie ever made, and there probably never will be. I can't wait to see this myself, but let's get a grip on reality, shall we?

Of course there's a "greatest film ever made." The recepient of that title is up to you to subjectively discern, but the fact remains that everyone has their pick.

the poll seems a little stupid. its either the greatest movie ever or I have to see it again to decide if it is the greatest movie ever?
Can we have some sort of decent Poll?
I loved the movie, but I wouldn't say its the greatest movie ever and everything else is crap compared to it.

This poll makes me laugh.
I mean, really. Lord of the Rings? Sure, it seems to be a fine film from what people are saying (I'll be seeing it tomorrow) but I offer the following for consideration:
Grand Illusion
Vertigo
Citizen Kane
Seven Samurai
Taxi Driver
The Rules of the Game
The 400 Blows
The list goes on and on. I doubt that LOTR would break into the top ten of any serious fan of the cinema.

At this thread/poll...Greatest movie ever made, no... Movie of the year, no... Entertaining, well-made, leaves you interested enough to want to see the remaining two films and make you think about buying the eventual DVD, yes... yes it is....

I just saw the film, and I liked it.
But I certainly don't think much of this poll.
I mean, there isn't a twikoff option, and if ANY poll needs that, this one does.

But more importantly, when do I get to see LOTR? Argh! Weekend, come hither!
