Ferris Bueller came out in 1986.

But the t.v. spinoff came out in the 90's.

And "The Godfather" is no "The Lord of the Rings" either.

Oh My God! I can't even answer that. Really.

[strutter84]

No reason too.  The Godfather doesn't even come close.

Now how could I have forgotten that!?

[Rowdy]

Well, even if you disagree with that, you have to admit that Return of the King is far better than Godfather III.

Oh yeah! Godfather three sucked big time. No argument there!!!

[strutter84]

The Lord of the Rings is so epic that the Godfather can't touch it.  There's no movie that can the Lord of the Rings in terms of the way it pulls on your emotional strings.  I cry every time I watch any of the 3 movies at multiple points.  It's just unavoidable.

[Sondra]

Uh huh.

[strutter84]

Yep.    I think the Return of the King's 11 oscars see it my way as well.

Not to mention 17 for the entire series. 

[strutter84]

Yeah, that's pretty damn impressive.  Tolkiens work (colectively the entire history of Arda) is absolute genius.  And Peter Jackson did a pretty good job of bringing The war of the ring to life on the screen.  I can't see any movie ever being able to match the emotional content of the Lord of the Rings.  Such a story doesn't exist.

Well, if you're going to go by the Oscars: The Godfather movies, as a group, recieved 28 Oscar nominations and nine wins, including the best-picture statue and best actor twice. Most of the Oscar nominations for Rings were for technical stuff anyway. Wow.  So if the Godfather didn't win in such minor categories as best special effects or costumes big deal they won for the acting instead. Acting! who would think! No little midgets or monsters to dazzle the eye with and yet they still were nominated. But anyway it's all subjective. I'm not going to convince people who love Lord of the Rings about this and same goes for Godfather fans. We all have our own preferences in this area. At least we all agree that the Beatles were the greatest band ever!
