Actually I understand perfectly why Tom Bombadil was not put in the movie.I did emensely enjoy the chapter in the book referring to him and thought him to be a very funny and sort of foolish character, but what did he ultimately have to do with the rest of the story-line? Peter Jackson's main purpose when making this movie was to focus upon the destruction of the One Ring, and quite frankly I do not see what Bombadil,Goldberry, and Old Man Willow have to do with that.

Oh, yes almost forgot my favorite character would have to be Gandalf the Grey and White and Saruman the White.
