It should be number one!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2002)

I've seen this incredible artistic work of genius twice now, and I intend to see it again. I was very amazed that it wasn't #1 in the top 250 films list, and was overtaken by the inferior Godfather (I know many people will probably disagree with me on this one) and the Shawshank Redemption. I thought the standard of acting was fantastic, and Peter Jackson is a marvel. It utterly deserves to be placed in higher rank that the Godfather, a violent, crude film. However, I do agree that the Godfather is a well made film, but it is such a shame because of the content. The Lord of the Rings is wonderful, and appeals to practically anyone. It deserves all the praise it receives, but definitely none of the censure. I cannot wait till the next part comes out, and it does the anticipation justice.
