HC had it right. If you discovered Tolkien because of the films, and then went on to read the books, and love them, then I reckon that counts as a "proper" fan. If you loved the movies, thought Lego was a hottie, and can't be bothered to read the books, then clearly, you are not a Tolkien fan, but a movie fan. If you have loved the books for years, and enjoy the movies a lot too, then that is also a "proper" fan.
