I'm not coping. Finishing Fawlty Towers yesterday and now finishing The Lord of the Rings 😢 These three films were simply incredible, and with such a beautiful ending 😊

Do you ever plan on watching the Hobbit Trilogy about Bilbos adventures? You really should give them the go as long as you understand that they are different from the lord of the rings in tone a quality but still tell a very good story overall. The important thing is it still feels like middle earth for the most part. I like to watch the hobbit trilogy after the low I feel from finishing return of the king and missing middle earth and it satisfies. Also the Hobbit trilogy also has extended additions that can be hard to find online for whatever reason but the run times are 3h for the 1st and 2nd and 2h40m for the 3rd for reference if you decide to watch.

Great reactions to LOTR! I'm glad you watched it. It really is a story for the ages. It's more than a movie, it's an experience. About Eowyn killing the witch king. Two non-men struck blows. Merry, who is a Hobbit, not a man, struck the first blow to the Witch King's leg with his enchanted blade, breaking his invulnerability and then Eowyn (obviously not a man) drove her blade into his face to finish him.

Huzzah! 12 hrs of LOTR is no small feat. This is unique, since before Peter Jackson it was not possible to adapt this for film, and recent efforts have demonstrated it is an achievement that is almost impossible to replicate. The Hobbit films and Ring of Power are worth watching though… because why not? Your map is nearly right. Here’s a version of the LOTR map of Middle Earth with annotations transcribed from Tolkien’s notes: https://www.tolkiensociety.org/2015/11/tolkiens-annotated-map-of-middle-earth-transcribed/ It’s hard to read, but Minas Tireth is at the far east of Gondor, right next to Minas Morgul in Mordor.

Awesome job on the map, Dawn. That's almost exactly the geographic layout of Middle Earth. Peter Jackson nailed it with these films. All the visuals and characters either met or exceeded everything I imagined when I read the books years before.

In one of your LOTR reactions you asked for other fantasy films worth watching. Sadly there aren't too many. Most fantasy films are made for children or by producers and directors who don't really understand or appreciate the genre of adult fantasy. However... "Beauty and the Beast" 1946 (La Belle et la Bête). Written and directed by the great Jean Cocteau, this is a brilliant and beautiful adaptation of the fairy tale. The adaptation, direction, and art direction are stunning. The performances of Jean Marais, as the Beast, and Josette Day, as Belle, are very moving. "Beauty and the Beast" is recognized as a classic of French cinema. Jean Cocteau was one of France's greatest artists and intellectuals. A poet, playwright, novelist, designer, filmmaker, visual artist and critic, he was one of the most influential figures in early 20th-century art. You'll also enjoy these two Jim Henson films: "The Dark Crystal" (1982). Directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz of The Muppets, the characters of the film are all puppets, but not Muppets. It is proper heroic fantasy, just with puppets. The art direction is beautiful as you would expect from Henson. "Labyrinth" (1986) Also directed by Jim Henson, it stars Jennifer Connelly and the late David Bowie as the Goblin King. There are also lots of puppets, some scary some amusing, It is a more typical fantasy movie than is The Dark Crystal.

Oh yeah!! I didn't pick up on that but I'll know for when I'm watching it again 😁 Who run the world? GIRLS (and Hobbits)

I have Labyrinth on the list but not the others. I was actually planning Labyrinth as part for Film-mas but decided against it last minute.
