In your opinion which is the best movie? I want to purchase 2 of them... I already own the 4th and 5th, and the 6th isn't on iTunes yet. Should I get the 1st and 2nd? or 2nd and 3rd?

This question relates to the future.
Would you consider buying all 8 of the films and watching them in a movie marathon?
1-5 you can get for about 5 bucks each. they're all good. funny, i remember my wife reading the original and saying it was for kids. she got me hooked and i have read them all number of times, plus the movies. now with kids who love the movies it is fun to enjoy with them.
btw - 1 and 2 are almost straight from the book and have the original headmaster. 3 is ok, i liked 4 the best, but many die hard fans disagree. my kids love 5, 6 is good.
hell...just get them all.
In #3 Emma Watson has the nubile young body. God it gets me going. A must watch.
Well, I would eventually like to own all the movies. However, there is no possible way that I'd ever be able to watch them all in a movie marathon. That'd take too much time. I'd go insane from sitting around all day.
Side note, I bought the first one. Still debatin on the 3rd or the 2nd. I am female, so the whole Emma Watson "nubile young body" thing isn't really an attraction for me. But I appreciate your input.

Well in that case......Daniel Radcliffe's nubile young body in #2 is very tasty.
2 is the greatest book and movie of all time...OF ALL TIME!
Movies 1-4 are really good, 5 is kinda bad, 6 was horrible, 7 part 1 is pretty good

weird.
#3. All the trees have been transformed into evergreens and the mood is distinctly darker and less childish. Harry still hasn't been transformed into the awkward sort of character that the movie series turns him into beginning in #4, but the book never really turns him into. There are lots of plot holes and awkward plot devices (time travel is an uncomfortable introduction and could rankle you more if you take the Back-to-The-Future/Heroes view of time travel instead of the 12-Monkeys/Superman view) but all the downsides are easy to ignore if you have read the book and know what is supposed to happen. The images that this one creates are unparalleled in any of the Harry Potter films. I'd compare them to Wicker Park, where you feel like you could pause the DVD and put the screenshot directly into a picture frame.
I agree with the post about how Harry turns into an awkward f@ggot in the movies after #3. Not quite sure why, since he definitely is not portrayed as awkward in any of the books. I do like 2, but the special effects in 2 are despicable, and sorta ruin the movie. (That basilisk is the worst attempt at a "special effect" EVER.) I think I'll go with 3, mainly because of Daniel Radcliffe's nubile young body. JOKE. I like the 3rd book better than the 2nd anyway.
As for ranking the movies, I'd have to say the 7th movie part 1 was the best. Followed by #4, #1, #3, and #2. The Order of the Phoenix and The Half Blood Prince were incredibly boring movies (and the 5th and 6th books were boring to read, for that matter.)
Weird, I thought the 5th book was the worst, and the 5th movie was the best. I haven't seen 7 part 1 yet, but...well, actually, the 7th book may have been the worst. 6th book was the best and 6th movie was pretty much crap. Too bad.
I generally like the later ones better, with the exception of the last one (which wasn't really a complete movie, so that's fair). But isn't there something to be said for starting in order?
