Bakshi's LotR from 1978 - I somewhat enjoyed Jackson's films, some things more than the others, but as a whole I find Bakshi's film to has a feel much more akin to Tolkien's books than Jakson's trilogy.

My feeling exactly.

Just sad he had to cut them so short.

It's crazy how FotR takes almost all of its editing cues from the Bakshi film. All of the cut material lines up pretty well. It was odd to end the film half way through LotR, rather than stopping at TTT, but the Bakshi version is still a pleasure, unfinished elements and all.
