saw them in theatres (after reading the books) and then got the theatrical version and along the way all the extended versions when they were released aswell , great films.
As i was watching the extended version of Peter jackson's King Kong , and afterward hours of behind the scenes docus , I thought hey let's go and watch the lotr trilogy again I thought i would do 1 out of 6 discs of the films so it would take me a week however i'm 2 days behind now
and starting with the final part of Return of the king tomorrow.
btw Stevie should have done an end credits song for The Two Towers (as both Enya and Annie Lennox fit perfectly for the first and last chapter however "gollums song" by Emiliana Torrini has never been my favorite.
