Is it Kill Bill? I thought it only had two volumes.

American Pie is the only comedy?

RTT said: Indiana Jones is the only one where the films were not released in chronological order (from the point of view of the main character, before anyone questions the BttF ones)? This is actually a pretty good one, but given the issues with time in both BttF and Kill Bill, I think my answer is cleaner..

Star Wars is the only one based on real events (even if they were a long time ago, not to mention in a galaxy far, far away)?

Lord of the Rings is the only one to be directed by a non-American? I haven't checked this out though, so I may well be wrong...

Mike said: To do with the director, or to do with non-Americanness? The original Star Wars trilogy did not have one consistent director across its component films.

I thought I was close in suggesting that all of the directors (except for one) also have writing credits. But none of the Indiana Jones or American Pie movies have writing credits for their directors. I get the feeling it's something simpler than that anyway...

Star Wars is the only one to have had the music performed by a choir of FaT bottle blowers in a Canadian University?

I'm sorry to say I messed up - I failed to spot that Mr Lucas didn't direct ep's V and VI of Star Wars.. sorry!!!

That was the next one I was going to try when I realised my answer was wrong!

Dubya said: That was the next one I was going to try when I realised my answer was wrong! D'oh! It's not even the case that only one of them was directed by a pair of brothers (Wachowskis did The Matrix, Weitzs did American Pie), although Chris Weitz is listed as uncredited on IMDb, so perhaps you can say The Matrix was the only one where a pair of brothers was credited for directing. There. Not at all tenuous...

How about the Godfather, as the only one without significant original music composed for the movie.

In 11 years and a few weeks, The Matrix will be the only one set in the future...

Which reminds me, where is Arnie in all this?

Of course Star Wars is the only one set before the iron age...
