Best Picture

Just watched my DVD of The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time, and I feel like I could go right back and watch it right through again immediately, without a break.

What a telling fact it is that, across all demographics, the most common criticism of this film - a film that's over twice the length of a typical popcorn movie - is that it was too short.

What a truly epic piece of cinema. Even if The Two Towers is only as good and no better, then it's difficult to see anything challenging it at this point for my favourite film of 2002.
