For approximately 35 years, since I was dating my Tolkien-loving then-future-ex-husband, I have not been able to get into Lord of the Rings, in book or movie form, although I did see the '70s cartoon at the time and like The Hobbit as a book.  Peter Jackson directed.

This was a little after my time, but even if I'd been younger than seventeen, I don't think I would've liked the characters.  Still, the setting of Astoria, Oregon is cool.  Chris Columbus based the screenplay on a Spielberg story, and Richard Donner directed.
