Lord of the Rings (1978)

Remember when Peter Jackson's epic  Lord of the Rings  trilogy came out, and it was awesome, and suddenly it became kinda cool to be a Tolkien nerd, and everybody knew who Gollum was? Well, it wasn't the first adaptation of  Lord of the Rings. Oh yes. THAT movie. Tolkien fans know of what I speak, although people who only know of Peter Jackson's adaptations won't be familiar with this... or the crappy  Return of the King  movie that came after, which cast RODDY MCDOWELL as Sam. What? Anyway, focus focus. This movie sucks, and I plan to explore why.
