Sections of are difficult to get through, but parts are great. The story of Beren & Luthien is Tolkien at his best, IMHO. Even

There actually was a non-animated series of at least some of the Chronicles. I think it was done by the BBC, but we have some
videos. Leaves lots of room for improvement, though.
Or how about a Lego theme?
