Weird list. Not how my list would have gone at all.

You should get none for the LofTR trilogy. I still want to strangle my gradeschool teacher who forced us to read those things. Shiite - ramblings... what you’d get if you dosed a Dungeons and Dragons tournament. Thankfully, with the movies, you could focus on the battles and special effects and avoid having to even consider the “plot,” which doesn’t seem to exist. The sad thing about LoTR is that 500 years from now, some twit will be tearing it apart for his class like Canterbury Tales, talking about how its loaded with all sorts of social commentary.
