    Each time I watched the LOTR movies, I liked them less and less. Too many unnecessary story changes, bad casting, and Peter Jackson's cheeseball directing has made it annoying to watch.

    As for great movies... hmm...
    Godfather I, II (I like III, but its not on this list.)
    The Hunt for Red October
    Field of Dreams
    Dances with Wolves
    Star Wars IV, V, VI (Its too bad that the Ewoks did not stay Wookies, as they were supposed to)
    The Dark Knight
    Full Metal Jacket
    Dead Poets Society
    I don't feel like typing more...

    The extended versions are far better. They cut out a lot to make them shorter for the big screen, but it made them choppy. It would take a 52-hour film to get in the entire dialog of the book.

    Groundhog Day is great...
    "In 2006, the film was added to the United States National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.""

    Groundhog Day was the most original comedy in decades.
