I loved the Two Towers, however, I liked the book as the best part of the trilogy.

Of the three books, The Two Towers is by far the best read.

You have to take into consideration that the beginning of Jackson's Two Towers was the end of Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring, and that Jackson moved around scenes from the books a little.

Personally, I loved Jackson's Two Towers because it had so much "zen." I mean....you have the badass ents, you have the humans finally showing signs of strength, and you have a really good story. The only sucky part was the abrupt ending focusing on Frodo and Sam. Waiting one year for a sequal really sucks.

So many great movies, lets see... I would definately say the best movie of last year would be a toss up between Old Boy (I cannot believe no one has mentioned it, must've been the limited release, just make sure you catch it before the piss poor holywood remake comes out) and Collateral. Michael Mann is definately one of my favourite directors, you only have to watch Manhunter to see why. Lost in Translation and Mystic River were also great movies.

LOTR's trilogy, Minority Report and X-men 2 were defintely some of the best films in their respective years too.

Kill Bill 1 (2 was thereabouts), Spiderman 1 & 2 also deserve a mention. I'm sure there are other movies I've forgotten that have already been mentioned... but it's late and I'm tired!
