Schindler's List is no longer the greatest historical film ever. See my comments above for what I mean by that.

Fellowship Of The Ring is the movie that should be shown on network television, commercial free, sponsored by Ford(tm). Better than all the Star Wars movies put together, and far more to cry about than Titanic.

We've seen it twice this day. Going to take a little break and catch it again in another week or so. Lisa said she probably can't see any movie more than 4 times... but I'm determined to break my record of the number of times I've seen a movie during it's first run. Right now it stands at 9, for The Phantom Menace. Heck, I'll see it 20 more times :-)

I can't disagree more. Please see Post 84 for some of my thoughts on the film as someone who DID NOT read the book(s).

FWIW, I have seen rarely more than one film per year for the past 6 yrs or longer? I actually made an exception this year and was reminded by LOTR *why* I don't bother going. So much promise... oh well.

You mean the Fellowship Of The Rings isn't a historical film? :-)
