Do you know Farmer Giles of Ham? A good tale by Tolkien. It was the first for me.<P>I've read the LOTR when I was twelve. It was a wonderful experiance though I've found it a bit dark. <P>Years later The Hobbit were translated to Hungarian after that the Silmarillion and so on...<P>And now this movie. I've just seen once but I will see it many times! I'm proud of the makers they've worked seriously and faithfully to Tolkien's spirit though the book is different of course. We have also a dubbed version of the movie it's as perfect as the original. <P>And I'll read the books again.
