Yesterday I watched:
I highly recommend that Tolkien fans watch the movies in the order above. I enjoyed the films immensely.

Edit: Duplicate entry corrected, full titles added.
Edit #2: Links, years released and film lengths added from IMBd.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Great Scott! That's like 24 hours of viewing!  :D

Fellowship of the Ring...twice? Do you mean The Hobbit for the first one?

My daughter and I did the extended cuts of the original trilogy all in one day about ten years ago.  Awesome to behold.  Tiring beyond any reason to be tired.

On a 11 hour flight from Tel Aviv to New York, I did all three of the original trilogy. Along with lots of pretzels.

Did you get any sleep Gb?   :o

Not much. I started watching them about 8:30 a.m. and it was about 3 the next morning when I finished the last one.

Sorry, Gus. I think my mind is still a little numb after watching all those movies. Post edited.

I still haven't watched any of the Hobbit series...I don't know if I could watch all the movies in one sitting and not lose my mind.

I merely wanted full immersion. It isn't necessary to watch all those movies in one sitting. The main thing is to watch them in the order listed, Gus.

That's a lot of Hobbit Bromance for a single weekend.

Yep, I watch the whole thing myself (not in one sitting) at least once a year. Have been jonseing a bit for them recently, too.

Admittedly the Hobbit trilogy isn't as good as the LotR trilogy. But I'm okay with that. They lead into better films.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Compared to the original trilogy, the hobbit films are like the most expensive Saturday morning cartoons ever made. I can't imagine staying immersed since they seem to take place in entirely different worlds.

I actually liked seeing "Battle of the Five Armies" last because the ending was clearly wrapping-up the whole series of films and portrayed that feeling well.
