what the fuck is wrong with you people

 

I’m biased because I love him but Heidecker was my favorite thing out of all of it.

 

Everytime. So good.

 

Fellowship of the Ring is the best LOTR movie.

 

Is that controversial? All the Shire stuff, and the Mine sections are so fucking good.

 

I feel like at this point it's a pretty even spread for those movies. I find it hard to pick but might go Fellowship. I basically just view it as one long movie.

 

LOTR is long and boring

 

I’ve never watched any of them.

 

Two Towers is the best. I legit shed tears every time Gandalf charges down the mountain at the end.

Also October Sky is probably my favorite school movie. Watched it in so many science classes but it holds up so well.

 

They’re okay. Worth seeing at least once but I have no desire to go back and watch them again. Still haven’t seen any of The Hobbit movies.

 

LOTR is maybe the only trilogy where someone could argue any of the three movies is their favorite and I'd have zero qualms with it. Gun to my head I'd have to pick FOTR for nostalgia reasons (and those last 20 minutes, holy cow), but all three are masterpieces.

 

I don’t know I always thought people enjoyed Two Towers the best for the helms deep battle.

 

Two Towers has Sam’s closing monologue, which is one of the reasons it’s my favorite

 

The only good part of that trilogy is the spider.

 

Two Towers is the best. Last one is a bore

 

ROTK has the lowest lows (too much CGI, the army of the dead), but also the highest highs. The prologue, Arwen's vision, Gandalf & Pippin's arrival at Minas Tirith, the lighting of the beacons, the siege of Gondor, Rohan's arrival at the battle, "For Frodo", "You bow to no one" etc, etc.

 

ROTK also has this amazing moment

 

no one can lift the damn thing

 

Fellowship was my favorite for 17 years until I spent more time with The Two Towers and now it’s my favorite. ROTK has the weird ghosts and it causes me to think of POTC.

I think we can all agree that watching the extended trilogy is a totally different experience than the theatrical trilogy.

 

Yeah, watching the extended trilogy is worse. I guess that's my true LOTR unpopular opinion lol.

 

I wish I could create a version that’s somewhere between the theatrical version and the extended version. only the best extra scenes.

 

I love the whole trilogy and don't know if I could pick a favorite. Idk why, but this scene always killed me lol. My brother and I used to quote "Po-Ta-Toes" all the time.

 

Yes! This is exactly what I've wanted for so long. Most of the extended stuff is unimportant, (and in the case of ROTK actively works against the flow/narrative of the movie) but there are tidbits here and there that are absolute gold.

Basically I'd cut any extended action stuff and keep most of the little character scenes and bits of dialogue.
