5 Movies Worth Living For: #1

Without further ado, I give you what I believe is the number 1 movie you can't live without....
1. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
The movie of a lifetime. A movie that completely sweeps you off your feet with spectacle.  Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is the final film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it gives the audience an epic finale. No battle in any of the films will compare to the hour-long Battle of Minas-Tirith. The emotions seen by the surprisingly powerful character, Samwise Gamgi will leave lasting images in your mind. And in the end, you will be completely satisfied with the conclusion of the arduous trek that you took with all the characters from 2001-2004. 

As Sauron launches the final stages of his conquest of Middle Earth, Gandalf the Wizard and Théoden, King of Rohan, rally their forces to help defend Gondor's capital Minas Tirith from the looming threat. Aragorn finally claims the throne of Gondor and summons the army of the Dead to help him defeat Sauron. Ultimately, even with full strength of arms, they realise they cannot win; so it comes down to the Hobbits, Frodo and Sam, to bear the burden of the Ring and deal with the treachery of Gollum. After a long journey, they finally arrive in the dangerous lands of Mordor, seeking to destroy the One Ring in the place it was created, the volcanic fires of Mount Doom

Just in summary, the film is already sounding to be an epic roller coaster. But it is not just the "cool" battles that make this film worth living. You must see this to experience the variety of feelings you will go through while watching, either on your own merit or out of sympathy for the other characters. You must live for this film also because of the cinematography and music; both are sweeping in size and beauty and there is a lasting impression on the audience due to this. Because of emotions and spectacle, the scenery, the characters, the suspense, and battles; this film is completely worth living for.
