I first read Tolkien in 1965. I re-read the four books again in ‘67. I had always been if the belief that they could never be successfully translated into a cinematic experience.

I couldn’t be happier being wrong.

(Now if someone could just do an equivalent job on “Dune.”)

Ditto, all of the OZ books and many other, successful fantasy and SF books!

Check out the BBC miniseries of Dune from a decade or so back. It’s a lot better than the David Lynch Debacle.
