Ralph Bakshi’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS may not be as well known to general audiences (and that’s a shame), but his influence is all over Peter Jackson's trilogy!
Look no further than the iconic scene of our four hobbits hiding from the Nazgûl

It’s the first major adaptation of Tolkien’s trilogy and it is… rotoscope animation??
Enter Ralph Bakshi and his completely batshit vision of an animated Middle Earth, simply titled THE LORD OF THE RINGS!

Heather's snot-filled confessional at the end of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT is one of the most iconic shots in horror movie history – so much so that this type of extreme close-up became a staple of the found footage genre

we just finished a months-long miniseries on found footage horror films and im so happy that we capped it off with the scariest found footage film of them all, Rap World. i mean this without exaggeration, i think it is a truly horrific movie and also one of the funniest in years
Try to remember these times, listeners. Some of the best nights of our lives were being had in parking lots.
When Connor O’Malley brings a couple DV cameras to the suburban abyss of Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, we simply have no choice but to watch.

SPOILERS FOR RAP WORLD
It took a whole night of (not) working — not to mention Matt’s life — but the Coolbaugh Crew managed to record one (1) whole song! And it’s the worst garbage you’ve ever heard!
Has any movie ever captured the “late 2000s era suburban scumbag” vibe better?
