When we look back on the DVD, I think this will go down as the most important DVD set ever released. This is what future filmmakers are going to say inspired them to get into filmmaking. Not the film itself so much as the behind the scenes, which they completely over-do in a great way with over 24 hours of material on showing you exactly how they did it. It surely inspired all sorts of film makers in the future and it changed the way DVDs would forever be made and marketed.

I haven't say & watched them in a few months, because I know if I watch one, I watch 3.

The extended editions of these movies may be the greatest trilogy release ever. These movies have aged so well & look fantastic in blu ray, considering they're already 10 years old. The commentary is pretty awesome too.

I've never seen the extended editions of LOTRs (or of any epic movie for that matter). What is so different? Is it just longer or is there a whole lot more to it that's necessary?

Also, why do I need to see "The Kingdom of Heaven" Director's Cut.

LOTRs


I love the books and the movies, but Game of Thrones has really cast a shadow over these, IMO, and shown just how one-dimensional the characters are. Everyone is either totally good or totally bad with no shades whatsoever.

I guess the movies are faithful to the books in this regard.

Hard to beat the music. It really is great.

My favorite shot of all time of any movie is in FotR when Gandalf's wagon turns the corner as he pulls up to Bilbo's door. It's a slow zoom shot from a boom that is so perfectly framed and timed that it brings tears to my eyes.

When I watched The Hobbit for the first time I enjoyed it. I watched the LOTR trilogy a few days later, and it made me realize how vastly superior those films are.

I end up watchig these at the end of every summer. Such a great tale put onto screen.

The BR Ext. ED. Trilogy is very cheap on Amazon right now, btw.

I just bought the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition trilogy last night on iTunes...I am just 30 minutes into the first one, but it seems weird. In the back of my mind, I know that these added scenes were not "good enough" to be in the final cut...and the scenes aren't familiar to me yet.

I hope I end up enjoying the new scenes. Wish I had the option to see the original version too with my purchase.
