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)

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.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
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.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
