The Right of Way (1930)
Snobbish Canadian Lawyer Turns Into Regular Guy
This movie was a waste of time. The acting was awful and the plot was thin.
In Quebec, Canada a snobbish lawyer who dislikes his wife is beaten and left for dead on the waterfront. He is found by the man he had recently represented in Court and won an acquittal. But he sort of lost his memory after the beating and takes a job with the local tailor. While in the rural area of Quebec, he falls in love with "Rosalie" but cannot marry her because he sort of remembers that he is still married to the woman he dislikes.
I suggest that you watch the first 10 minutes of this movie and the last 5 minutes. That seems to be enough to know what happened without wasting all of your time.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Why Did It Win Eleven Oscars?
LOTR have been the best movies I have ever seen. The books were great and could not be entirely duplicated on the big screen, but Peter Jackson did a wonderful job! If you haven't seen it, go today! Pretty soon the entire trilogy will be available on DVD and you will be able to watch it in the privacy of your own home.
Note that it was the film that won the Oscars and not the actors. That says volumes in itself. Most of the actors were unknown prior to this movie, but they all did a wonderful job. The special effects and animations were terrific and Tolkien's story line is just great.
I would suggest that you read the books even if you won't watch the movie. I read them a long time ago and was enthralled by them. You will see Middle Earth in an entirely new way. Also, read The Hobbit.
