The Lord of the Rings
On the 29th of July, 1954, J. R. R. Tolkien published "Fellowship of the Ring," the first of three volumes that would become the world-famous epic novel "The Lord of the Rings." For such a groundbreaking, enduringly popular feat of literature, there is no better way to celebrate than by gathering some of the best film adaptations of Tolkien's works in one place for a watch (or re-watch, if you're already a fan).
