It's just perfection. What's your fav of the trilogy?
we have this thread every four to six months and i'm more or less okay with it every time all the same
The Worlds End is my top pick, but Hot Fuzz is so close behind it's almost a tie, but it's not. It's something about Gary King, and his group of friends that just gets to me
I recently watched a Shaun of the Dead again and that kinda falls off during the final act, hell, maybe after the first 30 minutes or so.
I considered that my favorite but now... I dunno.
maybe I'll rewatch hot fuzz and at world's end (considered it underrated at the time) soon.

You're obviously not going to get many arguing against that. A fairly uncontroversial opinion.
For me, however, it's The World's End. Blends comedy and drama together better than its predecessors. Manages to effortlessly capture the feeling of high school memories while also making you feel grimy for reminiscing about high school, ie, it brilliantly observes how destructive nostalgia can be through the eyes of one of the more insecure and stubborn characters in cinema. It does so through this exceptionally well tilted script, it's paced perfectly, the setups and payoffs might be the best in the whole trilogy, the set pieces are fantastic, Simon Pegg turns in maybe a career best performance. The scene when they reach The World's End never ceases to make me cry. Everything after that's a bit downhill, but otherwise it's just great.

yeah, i think overall my heart is with hot fuzz, but i like worlds end more and more every time i watch it, which is impressive, because i've seen it a lot
Shaun of the Dead gets old fast, and World's End feels less like a part of the trilogy but a 3rd movie similar to the other two.
Hot Fuzz is solid, always.

Yeah, I don't know about that. It made the most money of the three by far.
So I used to think Shaun was the best one when I was younger, and only saw Hot Fuzz one time and thought it was "fine". Then as I got older I, I ended up watching Hot Fuzz again, and 180d on it, and now i think I've seen it like a dozen times and it gets better every time. And I agree, Shaun really falls off at the end there
yeah, this felt underrated by non critics at the time, I was invested in a different way, and simon pegg killed it.

Just like I wouldn't pick a favourite child as a parent, I wouldn't pick a favourite from the Cornetto Trilogy. They're all wonderfully sublime at doing very different things.
World's End is far too maligned in my opinion, and better than the others in some key ways.
Always makes me tear up.

Well put. Also hits harder when you know Pegg based his character off his own experiences with alcoholism.
Always makes me tear up.
Damn, did it? Most people I know have heard about the first and third one, but not the second one. Glad it was a success though!
It was great until it required me to accept 'action movie homage' instead of 'action movie' in my movie.
Shaun of the Dead is the tightest.
World's End has the best pathos.
Hot Fuzz is the best overall.
