Yes, I agree that it is the BEST movie I've seen.

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2002)

First of all I want to tell you that I am a huge movie fan! I feel that the Godfather and Shawshank Redemption deserve to be at the top of the list. Some of my other favorites include: North by Northwest, Doctor Zhivago, Shawshank Redemption, Star Wars, The Great Escape, The Shining, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Alien, Titanic, The Matrix, October Sky, etc.... The reason that I've mentioned some of my other favorites is to show a wide range of appreciation for different types of films. I STILL feel that "The Fellowship of the Ring" is superior to all of them. Some of the others are VERY close, of course, but the acting, scenery, special effects and overall mood of the film is fantastic. I've watched the film only TWICE thus far and desperately await the DVD!!! The second time watching I was joined by two close friends of mine who seemed bored during some of the slower segments. I felt sorry for them because I assume that they would prefer an effects laden film that has to be fast-paced. This film is NOT a fast paced "Speed" type of film and anyone that needs to be constantly kept on the edge of their seat may find "Fellowship" plodding. I, on the other hand thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! *** :)
