Featured Video
Opening scene from The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.
The clip gives a good sense of the mood of the book and the films, and tells the backstory of the Ring, from its making by Sauron, through to its coming into the hands of Bilbo Baggins.
jeffhoard added a comment June 25, 2009 01:25 AM| ReportSo hard to just watch the opening scene, must now watch full movie
philipy added a comment August 22, 2009 01:47 AM| ReportYou can watch just one movie? If I start, I'll probably have to watch them all... several times...
