Best Movies of my Life #12

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
This series is so epic I couldn't choose just one of them as number 12. Directed by by Peter Jackson I believe the Lord of the Rings is the greatest trilogy in cinema history alongside the original Star Wars trilogy. Based off the book series by J.R.R. Tolkien, Peter Jackson takes us on an incredible journey into one of the deepest and most beloved worlds in entertainment. The film follows a young Hobbit by the name of Frodo and he has been entrusted as the keeper of the ring. A magical ring forged by an evil entity by the name of Sauron in the fires of Mt. Doom in the heart of Mordor. As long as the ring still exists, so does Sauron. So Frodo has to cross his homeland of Middle Earth and into Mordor to destroy the ring the only way it can be destroyed, by throwing it into the lava of Mt. Doom. Accompanied by a fellowship of 8 others Frodo is the only one who can do it, because unlike many others, he is not corrupted by the ring so easily. But as you can imagine, the forces of evil will do everything possible to stop him. And on top of all that, the enemy has created a giant army of orcs and attempt to take over Middle Earth. Each and every movie in this trilogy are nothing short of astounding. Critically acclaimed and a financial success, this is one of the most loved series of all time. The third film, The Return of the King, was one of only three movies to win eleven Oscars (the most a movie has ever won). A visually stunning and immersive trilogy, these are the types of movies that people will be watching for years to come.
