I'm not going to lie, I fancy myself a ravenous Tolkien fan, so I'm inclined to be a bit biased, but this is what sparked my interest in getting involved with film in the beginning. I didn't think it was possible to make three decent films out of the greatest fantasy trilogy ever written, but I was wrong. Peter Jackson managed to tie it all together in a stirring, poignant, and incredible epic. One of the best movies I have ever seen, without any doubt! I go out of my way to watch the entire trilogy once a year, and Return of the King is always as powerful as it was the first time I saw it theaters in 2003. Go ahead and make fun, but it's THAT special to me.

This is Stanley Kubrick's crowning achievement. It follows the book perfectly as it chronicles the adventures of Alex, a vicious, sadistic sociopath forced to be "cured" of his evil ways. Gives a fascinating insight into human nature and can be described as one of the best social commentaries ever. My absolute favorite in every respect.
