Don't forget the sound! If you haven't heard these films in their DTS ES 6.1 mixes yet, well, you haven't missed an awful lot, and you have probably enjoyed the films anyways. I won't make the ludicrous claim that you must have surround sound, huge tv, and comfy chair to enjoy these films. Nevertheless, the 6.1 mixes are absolutely fantastic, well balanced, never gimmicky. During the skull avalanche, the skulls are falling all around you. In the battles, there is fighting everywhere, and there is a temptation to look behind you just in case an arrow is about to emerge from the china cabinet in the other room. The dragon firework in "Fellowship" zooms over and behind you, etc etc. Of course the films also look great, are well compressed onto dvd, the features provide for some great viewing, the commentaries are good, and, well, it's hard to complain! (Okay, I could complain about the Scouring of the Shire, but what good would that do?)
