It depends. Personally it's Lord of the Rings for me hands down. But Chronicles of Narnia is really a LOTR for kids. The don't show when the sword pierces someone or anything and the language is very innocent and childlike. Lord of the Rings is more for the adults who want to see realistic action and dialogue.

Lord of the rings is a better book and a better film...but its like comparing apples and oranges...
The Chronicles of Narnia are books aimed at the young adults of postwar Britain, whereas Lord of the Rings is clearly advanced reading with heavy ideas about good and evil.
Also, it should be noted that Tolkien and C.S.Lewis were, in fact, good friends who would be disappointed with this question...

I love both, but Lord of the Rings tops Narnia in my opinion, in book and movie form.

I liked both, but the LOTR movies are better because all three books are made into movies and they are nice and detailed and not shortened too much, but with Narnia only one book is a movie, though they did a pretty good job with it too. I like the Narnia book better though.

Lord of the Rings, definitely. It is rich and the stories have a quality of ascendance that does not force a certain morality down your throat. I find that, although I agree on many of C.S. Lewis' themes and love his imagery, he tends to talk down to his audience and the world of Narnia is firmly planted in a sort of patronizing view of children, like they are not completely able to comprehend or deal with certain themes and must be soothed and reassured (the audience I mean--Tolkien does this only indirectly and more in keeping with the tone of the story, and then only once that I can remember-Lewis does it as a regular recurring thing). There is none of that in Lord of the Rings, which is told much more like a saga, although it varies in tone. It does not talk down to its audience, nor does it force itself to mold to the "children's lit" genre as Narnia does to an extent. I still love them both, but LOTR is by far my favorite, just as Tolkien is one of my all-time favorite authors, simply because of the magical nature of his storytelling capability, even beyond LOTR.

I also enjoy other works of C.S. Lewis.
