I think LOTR to me is what the original Star Wars trilogy was to most people. I was born in 83 so I grew up during the aftermath of the SW craze and obviously was a super fun at a young age, but missed the initial buzz/experience of seeing them in the theater.

For LOTR though I was in my early college days when your friends are your family and we had a ton of fun with this trilogy. Back then you actually had to wait in line for tickets still, at least at my theater, so I remember skipping class to get there for when they opened, lined up already.

Those movies are a comfort movie for me for sure. As much as I hate to admit it, you can shave a ton of time off the viewing if you watch the Frodo/Sam free version. Basically you just skip all of their parts up to Osgiliath and then after till mount doom.

I own the original DVD extended editions but will most likely pick up some sort of box set of the 4K once it goes on sale.
