LOL birdie!! the countdown!!! :)

As I see them all as one story..I would probably have to say all three at once, Darth. Even tho I haven't seen ROTK yet it's still one story to me. As are the books. I never thought of them as seperate. :)

FOTR and TTT both were extraoridinary, both had amazing scenes, both had rich and powerful characterizations. Gollum being in TTT, of course, gave it that special edge, as well as Rohan. And FOTR had LothLorien and Rivendell and Moria... I really can't pick. :)
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Fellowship is my favorite . . . I think. ROTK might replace it. It's so neck-and-neck right now between those two.

Isn't "No comment" a comment? I was thankfully free of any bias of having read the book. Of all my friends I was just about the only one that hadn't read DUNE before we went to see it in 1984. They all went on to complain about how it didn't keep to the story and how this was different and that was missing. I just sat there and enjoyed it. I can't promise that I won't raise a fuss when the Chonicles film hits the theaters and is different than I imagined, but I think I'll be able to enjoy them just fine. :-)

I was in a bad mood... I would have disliked it regardless.

That is a pity. Perhaps upon further review (another trip to the theater or buying the dvd) might change your mind. :-)

I think Two Towers was my fav., followed by ROTK then FOTR

The Ents and the return of Gandalf made that movie for me!

I thought that version was pretty bad. :?

The best way to watch LOTR is on dvd, back to back to back. They flow seamlessly into one movie. Can't wait for the extended ROTK. :D :D :D
