LORD OF THE RINGS IS KING OF THE YEAR’S FILMS By Anita Singh, PA <\/p>\n
Showbusiness Editor The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King has been voted best film of the year.<\/p>\n
The third and final instalment in the Tolkien trilogy topped a poll by viewers of the BBC’s Film 2004 show, hosted by Jonathan Ross.<\/p>\n
In a year which saw it win a record-equalling 11 Academy Awards, The Return Of The King was runaway favourite in the survey.<\/p>\n
The two previous films in the trilogy, The Two Towers And The Fellowship Of The Ring, also took the title in 2002 and 2003.<\/p>\n
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, starring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey, was second in the survey.<\/p>\n
Winslet appeared again at number three with Finding Neverland, the biopic of Peter Pan creator JM Barrie in which she appeared with Johnny Depp.<\/p>\n
Lost In Translation, the quirky film which starred Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, was fourth.<\/p>\n
Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban was in fifth place.<\/p>\n
There was also room in the top 10 for a low-budget British hit and a foreign language film.<\/p>\n
Zombie comedy Shaun Of The Dead was sixth and Chinese martial arts epic Hero was seventh.<\/p>\n
Recent animated smash The Incredibles, blockbuster Spider-Man 2 and Tom Cruise thriller Collateral made up the top 10.<\/p>\n
The results of the poll are being broadcast in a Film 2004 special tonight.<\/p>\n
