The Quintessential 'Lord of the Rings' Movie Links

Click on the logo or name of the following sites to visit them (then use your back arrow - or bookmark this page - to return here).

NOTE:  All of the following links were valid and working the last time I checked (except where otherwise noted), but no guarantee (or endorsement) should be inferred by their presence here.  However, if you do encounter any problems, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know via email
Fan Sites:
These are 'unofficial' sites, made by and for fans.  First, my favorite one:
 
TheOneRing.net

TheOneRing.net
 
Without a doubt, this is THE best non-official LOTR site on the Internet.  They have the latest news, spys, sources and contacts everywhere, hundreds of 'scrapbook' photos - official and not - plus frame-by-frame analysis of both the Internet and theatre trailers as well as a ton of other features:  on-line chats, cast info, an extensive list of links to other LOTR, Tolkien and fantasy sites, etc.  Put this one in your Bookmarks or Favorites file for sure!

 
Fan Sites, continued:
These are other fan sites that I have visited (and possibly obtained images from and/or sites that have links to my pages).  They are ordered alphabetically (as well as I could - some are known by more than one name), with comments where warranted.  If you are looking for a specific site but you don't see it here, check the 'Associated Sites' page, as the distinction was sometimes fairly difficult to make and is somewhat arbitrary.

alleycatscratch
 
This site is all about movie clothing, with the link above pointing to the section on LOTR costumes (which at the moment is the majority of the site). Fascinating details for anyone who wants to make an outfit to look like their favorite character (or even just to know what was (most likely) done to create them).

 
Ardalambion (Of the Tongues of Arda)

Ardalambion (Of the Tongues of Arda)
 
This site is actually several things rolled into one.  The main page gives a number of other links, one of which is to their own page containing a selected Elvish Vocabulary (you can go there by clicking here.

 
(The) Bag End Inn

(The) Bag End Inn
 
The proprietess of the Inn (Ms Allegro) has a number of tasty LOTR items on the menu - drop by and check them out.  NOTE - this site went missing temporarily for a couple of days - hopefully it is back for good now.

 
Bit of Earth

Bit of Earth
 
This is the 'Official Fansite of Samwise Gamgee'.  I suppose I could have put it with the Official Actor's sites, but it isn't official and it isn't about an actor, but rather a character.

 
The Council of Elrond

(The) Council of Elrond
 
When 'Imladris' disappeared, it's forums re-appeared at this site.  I'm posting on the 'Movie Pictures' one (under the name Kalayna, the same name I use at Minas Tirith).  The link to the currently latest page of that thread is here.

 
Destroy The Ring - Home Page

Destroy The Ring - Home Page
 
This site is new, and the main pages aren't completed yet, but they already have a very lively set of message boards - check them out here.

 
(The) Encyclopedia of Arda

(The) Encyclopedia of Arda
 
This is a fabulous resource for finding out background information on LOTR characters, places, events, etc.

 
Fellowship of the Wordsmiths

Fellowship of the Wordsmiths
 
All kinds of neat information on Elvish (Quenya, Sindarin and Tengwar) as well as other Middle-earth languages, like the Dwarvish Runes, etc.  This is a really cool site!  And for a complete list of all the Elvish dialogue from the movie(s), go to this page.

 
Frodo and Sam

Frodo and Sam
 
Celeste has a beautiful site dedicated to Frodo and Sam (though there is plenty of information on other areas also).  Highly recommended!

 
The Gathering of the Fellowship - Toronto, 2003

(The) Gathering of the Fellowship (Toronto, 2003)
 
In December of 2003 (the 15th to the 17th, to be exact), there is going to be an event called 'The Gathering of the Fellowship' in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) at the Sheraton Center.  For more information, visit this website.  Let's show everyone that Canadian Tolkien fans are the best in the world!!

 
Hobbit Lore ('The Book of Hobbit Wisdom' and the 'LOTR Personality Test')

Hobbit Lore ('The Book of Hobbit Wisdom' and the 'LOTR Personality Test')
 
The two sections of this site 'pop up' in separate windows, so I can't put in the direct links - they are both well worth checking out though!

 
(The) Hobbit Name Generator

(The) Hobbit Name Generator
 
This site will tell you your own 'hobbit' name.

 
Lilith of Sherwood

Lilith of Sherwood
 
Lilith has a good collection of images - including the latest ones scanned in from the 2003 Cedco calendar.

 
Lord of the Peeps

Lord of the Peeps
 
This is a very clever 'spoof' site, in which LOTR has been recreated using marshmallow 'characters'.  Baillie (from Bree) has obviously put a lot of work into it's creation (glad my site could help you with your storyboards, Callie) - check it out!

 
LOTR Fanatics (and LOTR Plaza)

LOTR Fanatics and LOTR Plaza
 
 
This sounds like an interesting site - I can't vouch for it personally, as it tends to crash my browser when I go there, but I'm sure that is primarily my fault, not theirs.  There is also a merchandise shop on the site, in addition to the forums, list of LOTR links and other sections.

 
Minas Tirith

Minas Tirith
 
 
This is primarily a group of discussion forums, but one of them is a place to post LOTR images (and to look at everyone else's).  I'm a 'citizen' of the site and my name there is 'Kalayna' - you can check out the latest page of posts here.

 
My Precious

My Precious
 
This is primarily a Flash Shockwave site, which is cool, though for people like me (on a slow line), it can take a while to load.  Still, it's neat to have motion and sound (don't forget to turn on your speakers!).  The 'Movie' section doesn't have any new pictures (at least, nothing I haven't seen before), and the 'Cast' section just contains links to the relevant IMdb pages, but go to the 'Art' galleries for a fantastic selection of images by John Howe and Alan Lee, as well as many others.  Definitely worth a visit!

 
Nine Companions

Nine Companions
 
Lurtz, Gildor and Orangeblossom are three sisters who have created an interesting website - have a look!  Now new and improved, as of January '03

 
The Palantir (The Seeing Stone)

(The) Palantir (aka 'The Seeing Stone')
 
Merry and Bilbo have a really neat site with a lot of great LOTR info.

 
Ringbearer

Ringbearer
 
This site, which had disappeared for a while, is now back and under new 'management'.  Locksley and the gang have put together quite a complete package, though you do need to register to visit some of the pages, plus they also have a premium membership, with various privileges and perqs in return for your support.  Check it out!

 
Ringzone

Ringzone

 
tLOTR - the Lord Of The Rings

tLOTR (the Lord Of The Rings)
 
Aside from being a good source of 'Lord of the Rings' movies news, this site also has a really nice webmaster (Thanks for getting right back to me, Richard!).

 
(A) Tolkien Dictionary

(A) Tolkien Dictionary
 
This is a great idea, but unfortunately, the main page points down to some 'geocities' site pages that may sometimes get overloaded.  We hope he'll get a 'real' website one day.

 
Tolkien Movies

Tolkien Movies

 
The Tolkien Network

(The) Tolkien Network
 
This site has a number of links to other Tolkein sites, but they don't seem to have much that is new.

 
Tolkien Movies

Tolkien Online (was also 'www.theonering.com' or TORC)
 
They have three main webmasters, but David has been particularly nice about putting in links to my site.  Their site has a lot of good information, well presented, but for someone on a modem, it is quite slow to load (and it sometimes crashes my old version of Netscape).

 
War of the Ring

War of the Ring
 
This group has put together a huge site in a very short period of time.  They have a lot of stuff from the first DVD, including screencaps and other multimedia files available for viewing and/or downloading.
