I had a hard time following what was actually happening in LOTR half the time, so it must be OT for me - lower and uncultured mind and all.
Which trilogy is better: LORD THE RINGS or Star Wars OT?

LOTR are better films because of their depth and story line.
Not sure if it’s fair to compare these two film series. Two different genre’s, sci-if and fantasy.
The current state of Star Wars films may also have effect on the polling too, lol.

Been thinking hard about this... Which is better... LOTR or SWOT trilogy...
I guess the right answer is actually simple: the Dark Knight Trilogy!

I can say the same about "Two Towers" and "Return of the King" tho.
"Felloship" is the best, my boy. No one can dispute that.
My love for LoTR started with the the first film, when I was 13 years old.
Which is a year after I saw and loved my first Star Wars movie, TPM.
Personal, maybe.
LoTR had a higher cultural and ecomoical impact.
Imagination that is a mishmash of ideas and visuals taken directly from US pulp comics and serials, plus classic Kurosawa films.
Not saying much.
I don't rewatch great movies more than once in three years.
I rewatch trash flicks often, to relax my mind. Like chewing bubblegum when hungry.
Well, I think most of us here can at the very least agree that this statement is... just laughable.

I love both but I definitely enjoy LotR more. The three original movies are perhaps my favorite films of all time......until the dark times, until the Hobbit.

They should not even be compared folks!! Just enjoy them and take what you love about each one!
Apples and oranges comparison, but personally it's the OT Star Wars. I'm more nostalgic for it, and though they were strongly influenced by Akira Kurosawa films, they were pretty dang original. LOTR is mostly original in its use of visual effects. The historical impact on film of Star Wars is also much stronger of course, including its impact on popular culture. As is its impact on the collectible world. Not sure this forum ever comes to exist without Star Wars.
But I love Lord of the Rings. The sentimentality is a bit much at times, and the ending of the last one drags on and on. But its the epitome of an epic fantasy story. And technically there's not much to fault.

I’d go with the Godfather trilogy even though the third movie wasn’t as good.

Just like the OT!
Starts good (SW:ANH), becomes great (TESB) and finishes crap (ROTJ). But, hey, anything with Ewoks in it deserves to be immediately labeled "crap". The hobbits being half Ewoks, well, you get the rest!
I've said before that I've always found Lynch's Dune weirdly fascinating (in a good way) but yeah you nailed it. Even as a 10 year old watching it in the theater in 1984 I remember thinking "why are they always whispering when they talk to themselves in their head, it's not like anyone can hear them," lol.
