The winner for theatrical version for me is ROTK its just got so much action and cool stuff in it!!

I have to say Return of the King, though I partly think of all 3 as a whole. ROTK just seemed extra powerful and well done.

They are worth the extra few quid, they are well mede, not just rehashes of the theatrical versions. 8)

the Extended Editions are really dropping in prices though. Maybe you can even rent them at your local video store (my video store has them)?

I have seen them, my friend lent them to me (a while ago, though..) and I can remember something about them, but I don't have them so I can't watch them whenever I want to.. but maybe I can rent them if I have a desperate need to watch them

Rent them then and then see if theyre worth buyin and if you have the means to do so buy them if you can. thats my recommendation lol..

They are worth every single penny in my wee humble opinion though. But then again I am HUGE fan of extras (I've seen all total 18 hours of behind the scenes footage several times!). But even though you don't care much for special features, just the large amount of extended scenes and new scenes are worth the money!

Yeah, I'll have to look for them, but first I have to get some money, I have only 10 euros in my wallet, I just bought a new cellphone My friend lent me the RotK EE!!! I've almost watched the movie now, and then I'll have to start the extra marathon.. lol

my favorite would be FotR. you get to see the Shire, Rivendell, Moria and Lothlorien. I love watching the begining where everythings happy adn jolly. its really cute.

Watch all three extended editions one after the other, including extras solidly. That is truly a test of mental endurance.

I don't know what that means, but it sounds nice

FotR was my favorite for a long time.. simply because I had seen it so many times. Like Tinuviel says, there is the Shire, Rivendell, Moria, Lothlórien! But now after having recently had a LotR marathon again with the extended editions I might like TTT just as well. I think the lighter and the darker moments are balanced quite well. There are the humorous comments and yet you feel the Shadow from Mordor is growing. And of course Rohan is breathtaking!!
