Your ideal LotR cast

Hmmm...Branagh and Gibson are a bit too old for (human years) thirtysomething hobbits.

Folwren - we're thinking along the same lines, I thought Sean Bean would have been quite a good Aragorn and I thought of Liam Neeson as well. But then I thought, Bean wasn't quite noble enough, Neeson not quite intellectual enough. It's a sod of a part to cast....
