The best kind of movies are the ones with a story so amazing that each rewatch feels like your first time seeing them. It's the films where you don't notice time flying away, as each scene perfectly paces into the next, and you're engulfed by the on-screen world and all the character journeys before you. Only a few films have ever reached this level of "movie magic" and, luckily for us, the best cinematic trilogy to do so, Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, is now out in cinemas again.
Celebrating 25 years since the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, fans can now go to their local cineplex to tune into the extended editions of all three films. As someone who rewatches the extended editions every year, it's an experience I personally recommend to any movie lover. Even if you aren't a fantasy fan, the trilogy hasn't aged a day and is a masterclass in great adaptation that I'm becoming increasingly convinced will never be matched due to one reason: our modern obsession with convoluted franchises.
