There Are Thirteen Land Before Time Movies. No Joke.

Hey, big news. Bruce Willis is freaking awesome. Yea it's true, he rocks. Hard. I bring this up because of Back to the Future. See, Bruce Willis has nothing to do with Back to the Future and yet it all ties together. You'll just have to read on to find out how.

When ever I hear talk about best movie trilogy the majority of the discussion goes to either the original Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings. Personally I really like the original Star Wars trilogy. It defined a large part of my childhood. The movies, toys, video games, books and I'm pretty sure there was more. In fact I liked Star Wars from elementary school up until around the start of college. Since then I have had very little interest in Star Wars. I guess I just out grew it. On the other hand, I never liked the Lord of the Rings. Ever. I've never made it through any of the movies in one straight shot and I probably never will. Just too boring to hold my interest I guess. So out of the two, the edge would have to go to Star Wars.

Now lets bring up some other movie trilogies. The Matrix, Jurassic Park, Austin Powers, Spiderman, The Godfather, The Mighty Ducks, Ocean's, Robocop, Evil Dead, Friday and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I'm not counting TMNT. The first three were live action and they count as the trilogy. And yes, I know that it continues the story from the others, but no. I've made my decision already. It doesn't count). Most of those trilogies have at least one good movie in them, and in some case two or all are great. Lets face it, Jurassic Park rocks. The thing is, none of those trilogies are good enough to be the best ever. Well, The Godfather probably does, but it never connected with me the way some of the others did.

So. Guess what my favorite two trilogies of all time are. That's right, it comes down to The Land Before Time 1-3 verses The Land Before Time 4-6. Who would have thought they would make so many of those movies. OK, seriously now the two are Back to the Future and Die Hard. (Hey look, Bruce Willis was in Die Hard. That's what I was talking about at first). We all know I love Back to the Future, so that gets number one. That's it. No more discussion for now. But don't worry, it won't be long before I bring up the debate of what is better Back to the Future 2 or 3. The first is obviously the best, but what will get second place. Stay tuned to a future blog post to find out.
