4. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

4. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

My forth spot on my list is the legendary portrayal of the third addition of the J R R Tolkien classic book series directed by Peter Jackson, a living legend as far as directors go. The idea of this film series being created has been the dream of every nerd of the 20th century. Expectations were set incredibly high for this trilogy because of how good the books are. Many were worried this cinematic adaptation would be to hard to pull off and that it would all be over hyped. All non believers were quickly turned after they saw the gorgeous ending the heads of the movies had in store. The fans were not the only ones to notice how much work went into making this fantastic movie, the academy gave this movie several awards including Best Original Score,Best Visual Effects,Best Director,Best Picture,etc...  Since the film's release in 2003, it has been very clear this is one of the greatest movies ever created.

The events of this motion picture are set directly after the incidents of the second film, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. We are following several story-lines in this movie but do not worry about being overwhelmed, thieving in this film flows together extremely well. The cast brought the same emotional intense performance from the first two movies. My personal favorites in this film are the four hobbits: Elijah Wood,Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd. The world is so large and dangerous but these four hobbits are the heart of the movie and at several parts in the movie, largely the ending, their performances bring you to tears. My favorite part in this film is the battle of Pelannor Fields. It was so visually pleasing to watch and it really kept you on the edge of your seat because it looked like for a long time the bad guys were going to win
