Peter Jackson has finally revealed which ofThe Lord of the Ringsfilms is his favourite and no, before you ask, it’s none ofThe Hobbit movies.
Thank you in advanceto Letterboxd’s Gemma Gracewoodfor the original source!
Letterboxd recently got the chance to speak to Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, Miranda Otto and Kenji Kamiyama - and they couldn’t help but sneak in a question about Jackson’s favourite movie in the trilogy.

Unsurprisingly, Jackson’s answer was extremely modest.
However, when pressed, he did have an answer: “The Two Towers, I think. But if I see them again I might have a totally different one.”
I think his answer is pretty interesting, mostly because I think there isn’t really a consensus on which of the LOTR films is the best.

Who checked outThe War of The Rohirrim?
Sort of a side effect of all three films in the trilogy being 10/10 bangers I guess, but every single thread and poll online I’ve seen about it has a different answer.
Personally though, I’m actually in agreement with Jackson on this one. Again, there really is no wrong answer, but the Battle of Helm’s Deep inTwo Towersstill blows my mind every time I see it.

If you’re curious what Jackson’s favourite films of all time are though, well, luckily for you, Letterboxd also managed to wrench that information out of him too.
Thoroughly unsurprised that one of Jackson’s favourites is the originalKing Kong, but happy he mentionedThe Night of the Hunter. What a banger of a film.
Here’s hoping the upcoming LOTR filmThe Hunt for Gollummanages to hold a candle to Jackson’s trilogy.
