Good discussion
Mark and
SpM, this gets close to the new thread I am about to put up momentarily
. On a quick remark to

So, am I going overboard in my praise of the films? I don't think so, primarily because there are few films that I have enjoyed as much as these and that have moved me as much.

The movies were especially emotional. I never shed tears, but my eyes did water up a few times, Theoden's death, Boromir's death, Frodo telling Sam to leave. And I got goosebumps once in a while, The Charge of the Rohirrim, Aragorn's "Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers...., Sam carrying Frodo up Mount Doom. There were some truly inspirational, emotional scenes throughout the movies.
We can also credit PJ for Tolkien being recently stated back as one of the best-selling authors of the century. (Was a jeopardy question)
