Is ''The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy'' really the name for the three films? It seems to me that the term was only used for DVD releases. Isn't it just ''The Lord of the Rings''? Perhaps we should rename this "''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)", and change [[The Hobbit films]] to "''The Hobbit'' (film series)"?--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 16:18, 15 November 2012 (UTC) | Is ''The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy'' really the name for the three films?

:Bump. Whilst there's no rush with "''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)", I'm quite eager to move [[The Hobbit | :Bump. Whilst there's no rush with "''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)", I'm quite eager to move [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]] to "''The Hobbit'' (film series)".

::I feel that just adding "(film series)" is a little too general. I would expect an article titled "''The Hobbit'' (film series)" to discuss and compare ''all'' movie versions of the ''The Hobbit'' - the 1966, 1977, 1985 Russian, and the 3 Peter Jackson versions. Perhaps I'm being too picky or pedantic but I think "''The Hobbit'' (Peter Jackson's film series)" would be better (although obviously longer). --[[User:Gamling|Gamling]] 19:36, 11 November 2012 (UTC) | ::I feel that just adding "(film series)" is a little too general.

:::We need not add "Peter Jackson's" because there are no other ''Hobbit'' film series. There are single films, yes, but no other film series. So "''The Hobbit'' (film series)" should be sufficient as long as no other ''Hobbit'' film series is made. The same reasoning applies to "Peter Jackson's ''The Lord of the Rings''" (which, incidentally, is how this article was named a few years go).--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 20:02, 17 November 2012 (UTC) | :::We need not add "Peter Jackson's" because there are no other ''Hobbit'' film series.

Move
Seeing as all then video games have been renamed, shouldn't the movies be renamed too? The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy, for example? -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 10:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Name
Is The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy really the name for the three films? It seems to me that the term was only used for DVD releases. Isn't it just The Lord of the Rings? Perhaps we should rename this "The Lord of the Rings (film series)", and change The Hobbit films to "The Hobbit (film series)"?-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 16:18, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- Bump. Whilst there's no rush with "The Lord of the Rings (film series)", I'm quite eager to move The Hobbit (film series) to "The Hobbit (film series)". Please tell me what you think!-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 18:59, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
