It’s been more than a decade since the first of the films in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings<\/strong><\/em> trilogy was released, and although fans are now eagerly anticipating a return to Middle-earth with his upcoming Hobbit<\/strong><\/em> films, well, one does NOT simply walk away from where it all began.<\/p>\n

Today, we feature an article written for TheOneRing.net by guest author Leslie Martinka<\/em>, Marketing Manager at Hark.com<\/a>, the world’s largest platform for pop culture quotes and images, on the phenomenon that is Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and the top 20 quotes from Peter Jackson’s films:<\/p>\n

“My Precious<\/em>“, says Gollum through missing rotted teeth. His emaciated body is evidence of his life in Middle-earth as a slave to the One Ring. For the past 60 years, people have devoured the pages of The Lord of the Rings<\/em> reading about characters such as Gollum, Frodo and Gandalf. Fans of the trilogy have made it one of the most beloved literary works of all time.<\/p>\n

Hollywood revels in making classic books into movies, and it was a no-brainer to re-create Middle-earth and its inhabitants. Peter Jackson brought J.R. R. Tolkien’s vision to life onscreen. Today, 12 years after the first The Lord of the Rings<\/em> movie was released, fans still quote their favorite lines.
