Of course other people may have different lists. And I did like Dune
somewhat more the second time I saw it.

I agree with Dune. LOTR (b) I saw when I was 12, haven't seen it since, so
cannot say. I like 1. On my list are all the new star wars movies.
Absolutely horrible! They should have let the original 3 stand, and not
produce prequels that dishonored the memory of hte original. =(

Rogue One is pretty good.

Maybe I shall have to look into Rogue one. Andor is pretty good. Maybe
Rogue one is too?

Rogue One is either the best or the second best, after Empire, Star Wars
movie ever. Rogue One was the first Star Wars movie since Return of the Jedi
that I went out and bought the DVD. Rogue One has several of the most awesome
scenes ever in Star Wars, especially including Anakin Skywalker running wild
on a rebel ship.

I actually quite enjoyed TFA, but then I didn't believe Han was
actually dead (I was pretty sure that with the big build-up on Maz,
her connection with the Force and having gotten a light saber
possibly through teleportational menas that she was going to pull
some mojo that would be revealed later. TMF me.)
