 Yeah, those are still on my list.
 

Watch them!!!

 
I plan on it. It's just hard to both find the time to watch them and
be in the right mood for them. A couple of hours for a typical movie
isn't that much of a requirement but a four hour section of time is
much harder. On a number of movies I'm okay with taking a break to go
eat or do some house work, but on a movie like the LOTR I would like
to watch it at one sitting.

It's quite a feat to watch LOTR in one sitting. Each one is 3+ hours long. To
do the whole thing in one sitting would take a 10-hour marathon.
