Lord of the Rings' "The Return of the King" is the most outstanding finale to a trilogy that I have ever seen.

It's rendition of the LOTR story is just simply stunning. This is one of the best things I've ever seen on film. There is no amount of hyperbole that will do this justice.

rand()m quote

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.

—Kurt Russell
