My top three favorite fantasy films in one convenient box I won't belabor the points that others have made so well before me. "Lord of the Rings" is simply the best fantasy to come to film ever. These films were crafted with an eye to authenticity and loving detail and are worthy of the timeless classic that inspired them. I came late to Tolkien, having started "Fellowship of the Ring" just a few days before the first movie opened. The book's better for 90% of movie adaptations, but these films are so perfectly cast with the faces and scenery that I envisioned when I read the books, it's impossible for me to pick a favorte. The extended versions of the films add footage that provides useful explanations for plot points and characterization. Scenery from New Zealand is breathtaking, acting is award winning, music is beyond moving. I think the only thing that might make this better is to package the soundtracks for the three films together with this edition. Buy these films. You will want to see them over and over.
