I loved this film as a kid. It was my introduction to Tolkien and while it has its faults it always takes me back and will always have a place in my heart.

Oooh that's a good one! I was 8 when this came out and I remember my brother having to go to Paris with my mum for medical treatment and as a treat she took him to see this film, he came back home raving about it! I was so gutted that I did not get to see it!! I did get to see it too and yes I agree with you it may have its faults but for a young kid back then it was just marvelous! Great choice!
You have now done more blog posts this year than you did in the whole of last year. A few more and then you would have done more than in the history of this blog!
I watched this for the first time a couple of years ago, after having seen the Jackson ones. I think it still stands up. It's such a shame that they ran out of money before they got to Return of the King.
Ramblings on what I watch, read, listen to and experience. I'm not a writer, nor do I lead a life exciting enough to interest others. This is my way of keeping a diary that won't get thrown away because 90% of the pages are blank. If you wish to join me I'd love the company but you may have better things to read!

I really need to watch this...
When you do let me know what you think with fresh eyes. I'm way too biased ;-)
