Synopsis

Young hobbit Frodo Baggins, after inheriting a mysterious ring from his uncle Bilbo, must leave his home in order to keep it from falling into the hands of its evil creator. Along the way, a fellowship is formed to protect the ringbearer and make sure that the ring arrives at its final destination: Mt. Doom, the only place where it can be destroyed.

Would The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring be a good pick for a mixed group? Trying to find something that gives everyone a way into the conversation.

Grainne, a film-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Ciaran, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
