write up:
i picked this for my first overall pick just because it's so iconic. it's THE fantasy movie. not even close imo.
the books are legendary, and these movies are far and away the best book to screen translation ever.
gollum alone!
and the attention to detail, and the passion behind the story telling.
all the awards it won, and fantasy movies don't win awards. and it could have easily won more awards! andy sirkus(gollum) for best supporting actor for one. and the box office.. and these were 4 hour movies!!! people still went out to see them in droves.
these movies are 20 years old and still hold up. and they'll likely hold up forever because the story, adventure, characters.. and the dedication and talent in the films are timeless
