Really, there are three movies, so there should be nine sentences, but they all blurred together into a very long movie. I found that a lot of the bonus content was not necessarily necessary, but was mostly interesting. And I realized I hadn’t seen these movies since their release (it was a Christmas activity with the brother for three years running) so I had mostly completely forgotten the story, which made for pleasant viewing as it seemed new to me.*
Cost: free
Where watched: Laurie and Burt’s house.
*Also, I had completely forgotten the huge amount of eye candy, which made for a pleasant addition to eleven hours of viewing.

Yes, there are a lot of fine looking actors & actresses in these films. Fun fact: "Return of the King" is the only Best Picture winner I won't be watching again because I've already seen it so many times (I could get away with not watching "Chicago" again but I don't want to).
Wow! I did some of the same when I read the books. I just had to skim and scan over some of the marching/battling/etc. scenes.
