Another good one, Child.

Not to go off topic, but your question got me wondering how many other movies have inspired people to not only seek out the book, but to look for web sites devoted to the author as well.

I'm sure there were some movies out there that lead me to a book,(Raymond Chandler comes to mind), though I've read so much through the years it would be hard to name others. I usually think I seek out a film if I liked the book it was based on.

But the fairly new phenomenon of the World Wide Web has added a whole 'nother element. There are plenty of other authors that I'm as passionate about as Tolkien, but I have yet to seek out a forum devoted to their works.

There's just sumthin' about them Hobbits...
