I began reading LOTR in 1978. And I saw Bakshi's animated movie soon after. I agree there are more movies that could be made from Tolkien's histories, but worry that there are not many competent people producing movies anymore.

There is that. On the other hand, perhaps people wouldn't be quite as disappointed when the movie didn't stick closely to the original books.
