I just saw Rotk for the sixth time. For most films, if you get to the sixth viewing you're usually pretty darn fed up with the film, and find yourself drifting off throughout half of it. Or at least I normally am.<BR>With Rotk though, I'm finding that I enjoy it more each time. I was thoroughly engrossed throughout the whole film.<BR>I found that I also get more involved with each viewing. Emotionally, that is, with the characters. Especially the Hobbits. I have a habit of not usually caring about the Hobbits, but I was crying along with the rest of them at the Grey Havens.<P>I'm still in love with the beacon scene, I laugh more and more at Denethor's bungee jump gone wrong, and I'm getting more and more used to seeing grass on the top of Minas Tirith. I'm also thinking that each time I watch the film, the army of Mordor seems less and less of a threat.<BR>And I'm increasingly moved by Sam.<P>Generally, it's a better film than it was at the start.
