The Lord of the Rings, by leaving out Tolkien’s Scouring of the Shire, which was the whole point of the story.
Agreed. They give a glimpse of it in Galadriel's pool but go no further.
Personally though, I'd like to know more or Tom Bombadil:
Tom's country ends here: he will not pass the borders. Tom has his house to mind, and Goldberry is waiting!

Interesting - in all my years, I’ve never double-posted...

The Return of the King was already over three hours long. The Scouring of the Shire would’ve just resulted in ‘ending fatigue’.
For what it’s worth, I think PJ’s trilogy is a pretty darn good adaptation. Given the overall arc and plot of how the trilogy was presented, I’m okay with the Scouring being cut.
