Tar-Palantir, you are forgeting Unfinished Tales and Lost Tales. I love those books. Just today I was reading an account of the battles at the Fords of Isen in Unfinished Tales. It describes the death of Theodred and the second battle which scattered the forces of the Westmarch before Gandalf rounded them up. I eat up this stuff.<P>I think you can add several more levels right up to those people that can recite dates and names from memory, can sing the songs and speak elvish.<P>As for the best films of all time, I don't think I'd put them there. There wonderful accomplishments and extremely entertaining, but my favourite films tend to be more quirky and edgy.<P>H.C.
