    Hey guys hope you've liked my thread so far. I've got a subtopic for you:
    Which Harry Potter FILM (not book) is the best? (Not judged on how well it portrays the book, just the actual film)
    I haven't seen the last two yet (I know, I know you may send me metaphorical killer troi bles to rip out my kidneys) but I reckon Goblet of Fire is best

    And which is better - Robin Hood: Men in Tights or Blazing Saddles?

    Goblet Of Fire, easily. Might have said Deathly Hallows Part 2, except that it depends so much on having seen the previous movies that I can't count it as a separate movie, so Goblet Of Fire keeps the win.

    Azkaban is best, with Goblet a close second. The rest I can do without altogether.

    This is hard because I thought the movies just kept getting better and better.

    Looking back, though, it's a toss up between Azkaban and Phoenix. I really can't decide between either of them, because each has elements unique to that movie that put it above the rest. Alfonso Cuaron and David Yates were both great directors and I loved the stories presented in each.

    Blazing Saddles, definitely.

    Crocodile Dundee 1 and 2
    Demolition Man
    Naked Gun 1 to 33 1/3
    Robin Hood - Men in Tights
    Shawshank Redemption
    The Great Escape

    I must have seen those films literally a thousand times each. I can quote them from start to finish, and yet they never lost a single bit of their rewatch value. Sometimes I happen to switch by when they are on TV, and I just can't stop watching then.

    2. Prisoner of Azkaban
    3. Order of the Phoenix
    4. Deathly Hallows Part I
    5. Goblet of Fire

    Me and my 3 brothers could probably act out that entire movie from memory and not miss a beat.

    All of the above. Hell, Spaceballs is better than Robin Hood: Men In Tights

    Azkaban was the best. Goblet and/or Phoenix were the worst. DHI was very, very good. DHII was merely good.

    I could watch those movies 24/7 for the rest of my life. I'm probably due a rewatch on all of them, it's been a while since I saw any of them!
