Perhaps there should have been a pair of single quotation marks within the body of the original quote:

"Come talk about the 'all the movies of the Lord of the Rings', even those animated ones."

Then 'all the movies of the Lord of the Rings' becomes a title, and is grammatically acceptable (although still awkward) with the added article. One can make the English language do whatever one likes, in most cases.
