Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann movies

I like the first half of the show more than Gurren-hen, and I like Lagann-hen more than the second half of the show. Either way, the two movies back-to-back is probably the GARest way to spend 4 hours known to man. I just watched them last week with someone who's never seen the show, and he enjoyed them. I just had to clear up a few very fast, content stuffed montages.
