In which you shall not pass

Again with the cruel! I have these ones listed on my Facebook profile page:
Lord of the Rings, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, American Beauty, Fight Club, The Matrix, It Happened One Night, Amelie, The Princess Bride, Evolution, Zoolander, Sweeney Todd, Secretary, The Royal Tenenbaums, Dogma, Frida, Across the Universe, Some Like It Hot, Jurassic Park, Calamity Jane, Grease, Hamlet 2.
Probably the Lord of the Rings films? I went into The Fellowship of the Ring annoyed by how much publicity the franchise was receiving and wondering what the big fuss was. I came out in awe and never as glad to be wrong with my preconceived notions. The actors were all fantastic (I've never loved a cast as much, although Merlin does come close), the cinematography was outstanding and the world they presented was enthralling. Plus, I'd only ever really lurked in the HP fandom before, so LotR was probably my first real foray into what it was like to be a fan and have other people around to interact, squee and anticipate with. There's a certain added fondness that comes just from introducing me to the world of fandom.
Plus, it introduced me to joy that is boytouching, something for which I will be eternally grateful for. Not that I hadn't looked at stuff before, but well, how can you top this:
