Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings celebrates its 25 years anniversary

[Tbest25]

The Lord Of The Rings trilogy was a phenomenon when it came to the big screen. Won 17 oscars, of 30 nominations, earned almost 3 bi dollars and introduced Tolkien's works to the masses.
I wasn't born yet when Fellowship Of The Ring came to cinema, and after Return Of The King launched, i was only 1 year old. But both the movies and Tolkien's books made a big impact on my life later on. They've teached me about values bigger than one self: friendship, loyalty, gratitude and love. Also displayed great role models that inspired me to be a better man, such as Aragorn, Gandalf, Sam and many others.
But what about you? Did you watch Lord Of The Rings when it first launched on cinema? What was your first contact with Tolkien's works?
I'm excited to hear your stories

It's kind of sad Modern Lord of the Rings Becoming kind of sucks now. I miss the old Lord of the Rings.
