I saw the LOTR films on opening day in 2001-2003 as my family was big on Tolkien; my Mum read the books to me and my brother maybe 5 times during our childhood, which looking back was crazy given how long they are.
Seeing them brought to life on the big screen in all their epic scope was one of the defining moments of my childhood, just mind-blowing stuff.
While they may not be 1:1 adaptations of the books, I feel like they work near perfectly as films.
