Description
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-Earth still it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, and a show more perilous quest: to journey across Middle-Earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. show lessTags

It might be over 12 hours but these films are just amazing. I love them. Not completely perfect but pretty close. I have some issues with some of the changes relating to Gimli, Faramir and particularly one bit of Sam but it doesn't detract much from my total enjoyment.

My all time favorite movies. I watch them at least once a year.
