#2 The Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson

What the Dark Knight is to the whole of the film industry Lord of the Rings is to storytelling. No matter of depth or darkness or masterful acting could surpass the excellent storytelling of the Lord of the Rings trilogy which I give one spot to as they are essentially one long movie. From our introduction to the shire to the first time we hear the nazguhl scream to battle at helm's deep to the final battle, not on the fields, but in Frodo's heart Lord of the Rings is the kind of movie I know for fact that I will show my children when I am old and gray and they will show theirs as Wizard of Oz has been passed down from generation to generation and that is a true feat of filmmaking.
