The Hobbit and LoTR
The Hobbit. But I love them all.
yes and YAAASSSSS!!!! ? I watch marathons of these often. fun fun luckily my last two SOs have been fans as well lol my current just got done with the LOTR books again.
the hobbit was my first book report that I remember picking for myself so I'll always be partial to that.
I can't wait till they make The Silmarillion into a movie.
Took me 6 months to read LOTR (the full edition--all 3 "books" together, as was intended, with footnotes). I read The Hobbit when I was 10. LOTR was exhausting but amazing. I read it after seeing the movies.
I wonder if very many people realize that Tolkein was a devout Catholic and the books were meant to illustrate Biblical eschatology.

They're not going to. First of all the copyright holder which is Christopher Tolkien will not give permission to Peter Jackson to make a movie from it because he did not like how LoTR or The Hobbit turned out. Plus there is some issues with New Line Cinema owing 80 mil of unpaid royalties to Tolkien. Second of all, it is complex. They could make a movie out of the stories from it. Or a TV series. Which would be better.

The movie adaptations could have had some potential if jackson wasn't a neckbeard manchild
Love love love

Such a shame. It would of been awesome.
Yeap! I'm a huge fan of those books and movies. As for me, the Hobbit is the best part.
