For the record I like the movies, I don't think they are on par with the books, but there is no way in the film media the entire set of books can be filmed. But I really like the movies a lot.
What I was saying is that the entire EW list, not just the LoTR ranking, was a little

There are things on the list that make me wonder. And in the books list they didn't even mention the LoTR series, HP was on there, but no LoTR. And come on everyone knows Tolkien was a much better writer.
Having Amy Whinehouse on the list was a bit much too. And some of the other choices made me think they put the names of things in a hat and pulled them out and how they came out of the hat was how they were ranked.
I did think Spinal Tap was a brilliant move though, it made me laugh. Has anyone seen the stage?
