Tolkien Video\DVD

Although not a huge area of Tolkien collecting, this is quite involved. There can be a lot of different versions, particularly of the most recent movies, in all sorts of formats, variations, re-releases and different country differences. There are often differences between pre-release images and the actual products, and the different slipcase verses actual cases can be very confusing.

This guide covers any Video format including Tape (VHS, BETA), Laserdisc, DVD, Blu Ray.

Does not include any Computer DVD's, which are part Video and part Interactive/Games (see Computer Guide).

Only includes productions which were physical products and therefore does not include anything which was only available through the Internet, streaming or direct to TV.

A Film Portrait of JRR Tolkien
J.R.R.T.: A Film Portrait of J.R.R. Tolkien is a 1996 documentary, narrated by Judi Dench, produced to celebrate the centenary of J.R.R. Tolkien's birth. It is sometimes called "J.R.R. Tolkien: A Portrait" and "J.R.R. Tolkien - An Authorized Film Portrait". It features archive footage and audio recordings of J.R.R. Tolkien, and interviews with three of his children Priscilla, John, and Christopher. It also includes interviews with Baillie Tolkien, Robert Murray, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, Rayner Unwin, Tom Shippey, and Verlyn Flieger.
