Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring is among the best films ever made, but it's long. Clocking in at almost three hours for the theatrical release (3h 48m for the extended edition), it's hard to know when the best time to watch it is. Fortunately, we've got you covered.
Here are the absolute best times to revisit Middle-earth:
It's Tuesday: There's literally no better time.
When a big project is due: The only project that matters is getting the One Ring to Mordor.
You're at the altar reciting your wedding vows: Just repeat after Sam.
You just finished watching The Return of the King: A great time to reflect on how the characters started their journey.
When you're sad: Watching Boromir die will make you reconsider things.
When you're happy: Watching Boromir die will make you reconsider things.
If you're struggling with homosexuality: Bilbo's scary face will scare you straight.
While your son is being born: It'll take your mind off the stress your wife is going through.
Right now: Stop reading this.
As you can tell, there's literally no bad time to watch The Fellowship of the Ring. So get going. And may the Force be with you (that's a Lord of the Rings reference).
