The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003

There is also the introduction of Middle Earth icon, Gollum, as masterfully depicted by the Laurence Olivier of mo-cap performances, Andy Serkis. The runtime was felt in some places, but this remains another exceptional entry which Peter Jackson brings alive so fantastically.
