IMO though (BTW, I've only seen the first two), the LotR movies are pretty good. I reccomend everybody go out and buy the extended DVD versions of them. Helms Deep is so much better in the extended than the original. But again, that's only an OPINION.

That's not always true. The Star Wars films never won the big prize and neither did ET. And there have been Best Picture winners that didn't gross over $100 dollars (like Out of Africa). I'm trying to remember if the English Patient grossed $100 million...
