    I said "LOTR" not "The Hobbit", "Silmarilian" etc. OK Frodos journey is about half a decade (my mistake) and Yes LOTR is just one small part (almost 20 yrs or so's worth) in Tolkiens mythology, but i can assure you that Bilbo doesnt find the ring in LOTR, he finds it in "The Hobbit" . And Frodo doesnt 'throw' the ring into the fires of mount doom, Gollum falls into it 'after' biting it off Frodo's finger.

    P.S. I think its about 70 yrs or there abouts between Bilbo finding the ring and Gollum falling into the fires.

    The only thing I got wrong was the Gollum part.
    But then again, its all debatable.

    Which one did you really like?????
    There's about 13 movies mentioned in this thread...
    (6 starwars+3 matrix+3 LOTR+1 ocean's 12)
    Be more specific
    "Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers."

    Martin Luther King Jr.

    BTW, has anyone seen the 'extended edition' of The Return of the King? I liked it, quite an improvement on the theatrical release, but then i suppose the others were aswell. The new appendices are good too, pretty emotional in places although I didnt cry, honest.
