Ringers “Lord of the fans”

A friend of mine just sent me a documentary DVD film Ringers “Lord of the fans”

The film talks a lot about the start of the “Ringer” movement and how hippie culture influenced many people in the world to start reading and following Tolkien.

Also mentioned are a lot of famous musicians and actors who have been influenced by Tolkien, lol at one stage in the film you can see Leonard Nimoy performing The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, I laughed so hard at the dancers and Nimoy that it hurt.

If you see the movie in the shop, get it.
