The fact that Billy and Dom are still best friends, play league of legends and see each other constantly 20 years later makes me so so happy. Lord of the Rings and the shared experience the cast have is surely something unique and special.

[@InYourFace2day]

I would say in the movie industry, it is the most unique and amazing coincidence. The whole main group of actors are a tight nit family.

[@lightbringer2884]

The bit about Sean Astin directing the helicopters in to land gets me every time

All of the actors were so perfectly cast that they even mirror the characters in their real lives... And then there’s Gimli

[@RedStar441]

A man larger than life and a belly to match. As Gimli as it gets.

[@SickSociety]

I love John Rhys-Davies lol. He’s a bit ornery at times but the man is a legend. When I was a kid, I loved him in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade. When I was a teen, I loved him as Professor Maximillian Arturo in Sliders. When I saw he was cast as Gimli, I was not disappointed at all and felt he was perfect for the role! He’s an amazing actor. ❤️

yep then theres Gimli

Hands down the greatest trilogy of all time. (No offense to star wars) but come on man.. watching this just shows how much thought and effort went into this.

[@Kim-ss5bb]

This trilogy holds a very special place in my heart, They don't make them like this anymore these are not just movies they are a masterpiece

[@JFinSD2]

I am a Star Wars fans as well as a LOTR fan and I have to agree with you.

[@cameronbrennemanoutdoors]

They are both special in their own way

[@adamtapparo2168]

Most trilogies are a successful film, a sequel and then a finale to tie it all together. These movies were made as one movie that was broken up into 3 parts. They cohere so much better than any trilogy because they are unlike any other trilogy in how they were made

[@meital661]

I would love to see more of the canoe/boat scene it would be so funny. Also make sense that Sean would try make Orlando turn around, what with Orlando being good at everything. Another example of Elf envy.

[@auroraborealis1238]

What gets me to watch LOTR over and over and over again is one sentence. "My friends, you bow to no one" That's it. That's THE most perfect sentence in LOTR because The King calls small and ordinary hobbits "My friends" and he and his kingdom bow to them. Nothing in the whole trilogy more perfect than that.

[@Lmr271]

Omg, I've heard about John Rhys-Davies's allergy to prosthetics that made him swear to never be in LOTR/Hobbit movies ever again, but I could never imagine it was THAT bad!! What a pro!
