Now you probably know there's a lot of the above on Youtube. These include "fanvids", clips of the man himself, fake Hobbit trailers, the entirety of The Return of the King (1980), and amateur re-enactments of the Fingolfin/Morgoth duel.

I'd like to share this oddity - The Tale of the Children of Húrin "trailer", assembled from other movies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH2kv9xyUTA

Spot the actors/actresses/sources! I don't know where the clip came from, but "Mîm" is amazing. (posted on TORC some months ago)

Edit:

Morgoth vs Fingolfin 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqHJEu3JT-0

Morgoth vs Fingolfin 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsgc3LvK-K4

Morgoth vs Fingolfin 3 (CGI, Lego-ish): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdAZu5dFr00

"Spirit of Fire" - about Fëanor, naturally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED3hJjuJDxE

The battle of Morgoth vs Fingolfin is one of my favorite Tolkien scenes.
Somehow I didn't picture Fingolfin with a Captain America cape on.

This is a nice celtic-tinged rendering of the Beren and Lúthien poem that Strider sings at Weathertop.

And there are some neat fan-trailers out there.

I really like that, Brian. Did you listen to any of his other stuff? His Lament to Bomomir is really nice, too, as his Song of Durin.

Ooo, this was beautiful.

Before this, my top find was They Are Taking the Hobbits to Isengard - a horse of a different feather, assuredly, but I found it hilarious.
