The Hobbit
Firstly, we need to mention the gorgeous scenery all shot on location in New Zealand. Anyway, this film series is based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel. Notably, the films became one of the highest-grossing series of all time. Of course, we cannot forget to mention that were a prequel for The Lord of the Rings.
The Lord of the Rings
Consequently, this movie series had to follow The Hobbit on our list! Again, based on Tolkien’s work, this series ranks in the highest-grossing films of all time. The whole series took over eight years to film! Wow, it’s no surprise the franchise saw such success with dedication like that. In case you’re unfamiliar, the story follows a hobbit name Frodo on his quest to destroy the One Ring in Tolkien’s invented Middle-earth.
