Anyone who likes Spirited Away (the radish spirit gives me nightmares) should see Princess Mononoke <P>Willow, Labyrinth, the Empire Strikes Back, the Princess Bride and Jurassic Park (1!) are some of my favourites, but none are as well-crafted as LotR. <P>Of course it's not the craftmanship of a film that pushes it into the realm of popular myth, but the ability to capture the imagination of, shall we say, the "lowest common denominator"?<P>So while technically the three LotR films are better, they will sit on a throne along side Star Wars, Harry Potter and Indiana Jones
