One of my favorite discoveries this year has been ambience videos on YouTube that capture the look and special feel of the world of The Lord of the Rings. I want to live in Middle-earth, with all of its beautiful elvish cities, and warm hobbit holes, and feasts and pipes and smoking chimneys. And once you’ve entered that world, it’s hard to shake. I won’t enter the “is it a Christmas movie” debate (because anything can be a Christmas movie, really) but I will admit I enjoy a trilogy binge this time of year.
The perfect escapism for this cozy time of year. They’re also great, big, comfy fantasy movies. Probably because the films-and their subsequent extended edition DVDs-originally released around Christmastime. Find and rate the best voice quotes from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie soundboard that you can use as ringtones. I don’t know that the trilogy is particularly festive content-wise, but it is something families tend to watch this time of year. There’s been a lot of talk this year about The Lord of the Rings‘ status as a Christmas movie.
