I had just gotten through re-watching all of Star Wars and those movies still resonated on a deep level. But there's so much about this movie that just dragged and didn't really connect with me anymore, while between ages 18-21 it meant the world to me. I'm going to continue with the next two soon and see if I have the same sort of reaction.

to be fair, a multiple night midnight feeding may not be an ideal set of viewing circumstances.
I just rewatched these about a year ago when I started that Tolkien podcast, so I was primed to really enjoy these, and I found that they held up. Not as much as they used to perhaps, but still really liked them.
